K TRANSMISSION Disassembly note One-way clutch inner race 1. Remove the allen-head bolts from the rear of the trans- mission case by using the SST. 4 2. Remove the one-wav clutch inner race, thrust washer, and piston return spring. Low and reverse brake &ton Remove the piston by gpplying compressed air through the oil passage. Air pressure: 392 kPa (4.0 kg/cm2, 57 psi) max. Inspection Drive plate 1. Measure the facing thickness in three places, and deter- mine the average of the three readings. Standard thickness: 2.0mm (0.079 in) Minimum thickness: 1.8mm (0.071 in) 2. If not within specification, replace the drive plates. Return spring 1. Measure the return spring free length. Spring free length: 5.9-6.2mm (0.233-0.244 in) 2. If not within specification, replace the return spring. Clutch piston 1. Verify that there is no air leakage when applying com- pressed air through the oil hole opposite the return spring. 2. Verify that there is airflow when applying compressed air through the oil hole on the return spring side. Air pressure: 392 kPa (4.0 kg/cm2, 57 psi) max. 3. If not correct, replace the clutch piston.

Check the fluid level. (Refer to page N-22.) 2. Turn the steering wheel fully to the left and right several times with the engine not running. 3. Recheck the fluid level. If it has dropped, add fluid. 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the fluid level stabilizes. 5. Start the engine and let it idle. 6. Turn the steering wheel fully to the left and right several times. 7. Verify that the fluid is not foamy and that the fluid level has not dropped. 8. Add fluid if necessary, and repeat steps 6 and 7. Gartner Banana

ENGINE SPEED SENSING POWER STEERING N THERMOMETER GAUGE (50"--60°C (1 22-1 40°F)) / THERMOMETER GAUGE (50"--60°C {I 22-140°F)) / Fluid pressure 1. Assemble the SST as shown in the figure. Tightening torque: 40-49 N-m i4.0-5.0 kgf-m, 2%--36 ft.lbf) 2. Mark both hose connections to ensure that the hose is reinstalled in its original position. 3. Disconnect the pressure hose from the oil pump. Attach the SST. 4. Bleed the air from the system. (Refer to page N-21.) 5. Open the gauge valve fully. Start the engine and turn the steering wheel fully left and right to raise the fluid temper- ature to 50-60°C (122-140°F). Caution Do not let the valve stay closed for more than 5 seconds. The increase in fluid temperature will damage the oil pump. 6. Close the gauge valve completely. Increase the engine speed to 1,000-1,500 rpm and measure the fluid pres- sure generated by the oil pump. If the pressure is not within specification, replace the oil pump assembly. Oil pump fluid pressure: 7,601--8,335 kPa (77.5--85.0 kgf/cm2, 1 ,I 03-1,208 psi) 7. Open the gauge valve fully and increase the engine speed to 1,000-1,500 rpm. Gartner Banana
