DISASSEMBLYN21WMCaution
%T1. Since the automatic transaxle is made of particularly
~_,high precision parts, be very careful when handling
them during disassembly and reassembly so that they
are not scratched.
2. Spread a rubber mat on the workbench and keep it
clean.3. Do not use cotton gloves or cloth rags during dis-
assembly. If they are needed, use nylon cloth or paper
towels.
4. Clean all disassembled parts. Clean metal
parts with
normal cleanser and completely dry with air.
5. Clean the clutch disc, resin thrust plate and rubber
parts with ATF (automatic transmission fluid) and do
not get any dirt on them.
6. If the transaxle itself is damaged, disassemble and
clean the cooler system also.
1. Remove the torque converter.
2. Mount the dial gauge on the transaxle case and measure
the end play of the input shaft.
3. Remove the brackets.
4. Remove the oil level gauge and oil level gauge guide.
1:5. Remove the pulse generator A and B.
6.First remove the manual control lever and then remove theinhibitor switch.
7. Remove the speedometer driven gear assembly.

REASSEMBLYCautionNZlLFAO1. Do not reuse the gasket, O-ring, oil seal, etc. When
assembling, replace with new parts. (Note: The oil
level gauge rubber need not be replaced.)
2. Do NOT use any grease except petrolatum.
3. First apply ATF to the friction elements, the rotating
parts and sliding parts and then assemble.
Soak new clutch disc and brake disc in ATF for over 2
hours before using.
4. Do not use a sealing agent or adhesive agent on the
gaskets.
5.When replacing the bushing, replace the assembly that
includes the bushing.
6.Do not use cotton gloves or rags (cloth) when assemb-
ling. If required, use nylon cloth or paper towels.
7. Also replace the oil in the cooler.
1. Using the special tool, press-fit the drive shaft oil seal.

(30) (33)(299) 2&
kPa(psi)2OPOO14(3) If the sight glass is clear and the magnetic clutch is
disengaged; the clutch is faulty or, the system is out of
refrigerant. Perform low pressure switch test to determine
condition. Check low pressure switch, and clutch coil for
electrical continuity.
(4) If the sight glass shows foam or bubbles, the system could
be low on charge. Occasional foam or bubbles are normal
when the ambient temperature is above
43°C (110°F) or
below
21°C (70°F).Adjust the engine speed to 1,500 rpm. Block the air-flow
thru the condenser to increase the compressor discharge
pressure to 1,422 to 1,520
kPa (206 to 220 psi). If sight
glass still shows bubbles or foam, system charge level is
low.The refrigerant system will not be low on charge unless
there is a leak. Find and repair the leak. If the leak can be
repaired without discharging the system an oil level check
is not necessary. Use the procedure for correcting low
refrigerant level found in the Refrigerant System Service
Procedure Section.DUAL PRESSURE SWITCH
The dual-pressure switch is a combination of the low-pressureswitch (for checking the quantity of refrigerant) and the,
high-pressure switch (for prevention of overheating); it is
installed on the tube, and, when the pressure becomes
approximately 210 kPa (30 psi) or lower, the compressor stops,thus preventing the compressor from being damaged by heat.
When the pressure reaches 2,700
kPa (384 psi) or higher, the
compressor stops, thus preventing overheating. There is
generally no necessity for inspection; if, however, an unusual
condition, such as non-operation of the compressor is encoun-tered, check by following the procedures below.
(1) Check for continuity of the dual-pressure switch.
NOTEIf the air temperature drops to
0°C (32°F) or lower during
cold weather, the air conditioner will not operate (no
continuity).(2) If there is an insufficient amount of refrigerant, check the
refrigerant amount by looking through the sight glass of thereceiver; supply refrigerant if necessary.
