Determine whether or not the automatic trans-
mission should be disassembled by observ-
ing the condition of fluid carefully. 
If the fluid is muddy and varnished, it indicates 
burned drive plates.

ed from P <-> L or P <-» 1 range. 
3. Check that the position of the selector lever and 
the indicator are exact. 
4. Check that the button returns smoothly when used 
to shift the selector. 
Adjustment 
1. Loosen locknuts A, B, and lockbolt C. 
2. Shift the selector lever to P range. 
3. Shift the transaxle to P range by moving the man-
ual shaft of the transaxle. 
4. While holding the selector lever forward in P range, 
tighten lockbolt C to the specified torque. 
Tightening torque:
