GENERAL - Maintenance Service
(2) Check that the transaxle oil level is at the lower portion of
the filler plug hole. For AWD-vehicles, check that the
transfer oil level is at the portion shown in the illustration.
(3) Check to be sure that the transmission oil is not noticeably
‘ddirty, and that it has a suitable viscosity.
10. AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE
(Inspect fluid level)
MOOSEDL
1.Drive until the fluid temperature reaches the usual tempera-
ture
[70 - 80°C (160 - 18O”F)I.2. Place vehicle on level floor.
3. Move selector lever sequentially to every position to fill
torque converter and hydraulic circuit with fluid, then place
lever in “N” Neutral position. This operation is necessary to
be sure that fluid level check is accurate.
4. Before removing dipstick, wipe all dirt from area around
dipstick. Then take out the dipstick and check the condition
of the fluid.
The transaxle should be overhauled under the following
conditions.
l If there is a “burning” odor.
l If the fluid color has become noticeably blacker.
lIf there is a noticeably great amount of metal particles in
the fluid.
5. Check to see if fluid level is in “HOT” range on dipstick. If
fluid level is low, add ATF until level reaches “HOT” range.
Low fluid level can cause a variety of conditions because it
allows pump to take in air along with fluid. Air trapped in
hydraulic circuit forms bubbles which make fluid spongy.
Therefore, pressures will be erratic.
Improper filling can also raise fluid level too high. When
transaxle has too much fluid, gears churn up foam and
cause same conditions which occur with low fluid level,
resulting in accelerated deterioration of ATF transmission
fluid.
In either case, air bubbles can cause overheating, fluid
oxidation, which can interfere with normal valve, clutch, and
servo operation. Foaming can also result in fluid escaping
from transaxle vent where it may be mistaken for a leak.
6. Be sure to examine fluid on dipstick closely.
L/(Change fluid)
Drain the fluid and check whether there is any evidence of
contamination.
Replenish with new fluid after the cause of any contamination
has been corrected.
(1) Remove drain plug at transaxle case bottom to let fluid
drain.(2) Place a drain container with large opening under the
transaxle oil pan.
(3) Loosen oil pan bolts and tap pan at one corner to break it
loose allowing fluid to drain, then remove oil pan.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)
(1)A Supplemental Restraint System (SRS), which uses a driver-side air bag, has been installed in the 3668GT.(2)The SRS includes the following components: impact sensors, SRS diagnosis unit: SRS warning light, air bagmodule, clock spring, interconnecting wiring. Other SRS-related components (that may have to beremoved/installed in connection with SRS service or maintenance) are indicated in the table of contents byan asterisk (*).
WARNING!(1)Improper service or maintenance of any component of the SRS, or any SRS-related component, can lead topersonal injury or death to service personnel (from inadvertent firing of the air bag) or to the driver (from
rendering the SRS inoperative).
(2) Service or maintenance of any SRS component or SRS-related component must be performed only at an
authorized MITSUBISHI dealer.
(3) MlTSUBISHI dealer personnel must thoroughly review this manual, and especially its GROUP 52B -Supplemental Restraint System (SRS), before beginning any service or maintenance of any component of the
ISRS or any SRS-related component.

5.Check to see if fluid level is in “HOT” range on dipstick. If
fluid level is low, add automatic transmission fluid until level
reaches “HOT” range.

Low fluid level can cause a variety of conditions because it
allows pump to take in air along with fluid. Air trapped in
hydraulic circuit forms bubbles which make fluid spongy.
Therefore, pressures will be erratic, causing delayed shift,
slippy clutch and brakes, etc.
Improper filling can also raise fluid level too high. When
transaxle has too much fluid, gears churn up foam
anldcause the same conditions which occur with low fluid level,
resulting in accelerated deterioration of automatic
transaxllefluid.
In either case, air bubbles can cause overheating, fluid
oxidation, which can interfere with normal valve, clutch, and
servo operation. Foaming can also result in fluid escaping
from transaxle vent where it may be mistaken for a leak.

DISASSEMBLY
Caution1. The automatic transaxle consists of high-precision
parts and utmost care must be exercised during
disassembly and reassembly to prevent damage to the
parts.
2.Place a rubber mat on the workbench and keep it cleanat all times.
3.Do not use cotton work gloves or waste cloth for the
disassembly job. Use nylon cloth or paper towel if
necessary.4. Clean all disassembled parts. Commercially available
detergent may be used to clean the
metalllic parts;
however, be sure to dry them completely with air.
5. Clean the clutch disc, plastic thrust plates, and rubberparts with ATF (automatic transmission fluid) to pre-
vent adhesion of dust and dirt.
6.If the transaxle is damaged, the cooler system should
also be disassembled and cleaned.(1) Remove the torque converter.
(2) Install the dial indicator to the transaxle case and measure
the end play in the input shaft.
(3) Remove brackets.
(4) Remove the oil level gauge and oil level gauge guide.
(5) Remove pulse generators A and B
(6) Remove the manual control lever and then remove the
inhibitor switch.
(7) Remove the speedometer drive gear assembly.

5. INSTALLATION OF CLUTCH PRESSURE PLATE
/ 3.
CLUTCH PLATE / 2. CLUTCH REACTION PLATE
(1) When installing the clutch pressure plate, clutch plate,
and clutch reaction plate, align the areas where one
tooth is missing [indicated by @I.
NOTE
This ensures that the automatic transmission fluid
escapes well and the plate and disc are cooled
efficiently.
(2) Install the plates so that the shear droop side of each
plate is located as shown.
(3) Make sure that the thickest plate (clutch reaction plate)
is located on the snap ring side.
1. SELECTION OF SNAP RING
(1) Check clearance between the snap ring and clutch
reaction plate. To check the clearance, hold entire
circumference of the clutch reaction plate down with 50
N (11
Ibs.) force. If clearance is out of standard value,
select a snap ring to obtain the standard value.
Standard value: 0.8
- 1.0 mm (.032 - .039 in.)

bolts A and B in the order mentioned.
FLUID LEVEL CHECKM37FlAJ
1.Park the vehicle on a flat, level surface, start the engine, and
then turn the steering wheel several times to raise the
temperature of the fluid to approximately 50
- 60°C (122 -
140°F).
2.With the engine running, turn the wheel all the way to the
left and right several times.
3.Check the fluid in the oil reservoir for foaming or milkiness.
Check the difference of the fluid level when the engine is
stopped, and while it is running. If the fluid level changes
considerably, air bleeding should be done.
FLUID REPLACEMENTM37FJAL1. Raise the front wheels on a jack, and then support them
with rigid racks.
2. Disconnect the return hose connection.
3. Connect a vinyl hose to the return hose, and drain the oil
into a container.
4. Disconnect the high-tension cable, and then while operat-
ing the starting motor intermittently, turn the steering
wheel all the way to the left and right several times to drain
all of the fluid.
Caution
Be careful not to position the high-tension cable nearthe carburetor or the delivery pipe.
5.Connect the return hoses securely, and then secure it with
the clip.
6.Fill the oil reservoir with the specified fluid up to the lower
position of the filter, and then bleed the air.
