9. Tighten the locking nut by hand until the locking nut
contacts the piston. Then, using the torque wrench, tighten
to the specified torque.
Locking nut: 25-32
Nm (18-23 ft.lbs.)
Caution
If it is rapidly tightened with the socket wrench or
torque wrench, the lock nut and adjusting rod may
rotate together.
10. Remove the special tool which fastens the piston.
Attach the plug to the outlet of the low reverse pressure.

7. Remove the valve body assembly. The manual valve can
come out, so be careful not to drop it.
8.Turn the adjustment screw of the regulator valve and adjust
so that the line pressure (kickdown brake pressure)
becomes the standard value.
When the adjustment screw is turned to the clockwise, the
line pressure becomes lower; when it is turned to
counter-clockwise, it becomes higher.
Standard value: 870-890 kPa (124-127 psi)
Oil pressure change for each turn of adjustment screw: 38
kPa (94 psi)
9. Check to be sure that the O-ring is installed on the upper
surface of the valve body at the place shown in the figure.
10. Replace the O-ring of the solenoid valve connector with a new one.
11. Install the valve body assembly to the case and then insert
the solenoid valve connector into the case. Be sure, at this
time, that the notched part of the connector faces as
shown in the figure.
Also be careful that the lead wiring isn’t caught.

12. Replace the O-ring of the solenoid valve harness with a new one.
13. Tilt the solenoid valve harness over from the inner side of
the transaxle case to the harness grommet installation hole’
and install the harness grommet securely.
14. Install the harness grommet so that the lead wiring of the solenoid valve harness faces in the direction indicated by
the arrow in the illustration. (FWD . . . From MODEL
1990.5)

15. Tighten valve body assembly mounting.
Valve body assembly mounting bolts:11 Nm (8.0 ftlbs.)
A: 18 mm (.709
in.) long
B: 25 mm (.984
in.) long
C: 40 mm (1.575 in.) long
Caution (AWD)
Fix the solenoid valve and oil temperature sensor harness
securely in the position shown. Since the harness of the
pressure control solenoid valve (PCSV) is separately
provided from the other harness, route the former
harness as illustrated and clamp it. If clamping is
forgotten, it will come into contact with the detent plate and parking rod.
16. Install the oil filter.
17. Install a new oil pan gasket and oil pan.
18. Pour in the specified amount of Automatic transaxle fluid.
19. Make the oil pressure test. Readjust if necessary.
REDUCING PRESSURE ADJUSTMENTMZ3FTAb
(If the scan tool is not available)
1. Remove parts up to the oil filter in the same way as for
adjustment of the line pressure. The valve body need not
be removed.
2. Turn the adjustment screw of the lower valve body and
adjust so that the reducing pressure is the standard value.
When the adjustment screw is turned to the right, the
reducing pressure becomes lower; when it is turned to the
left, it becomes higher.

23-92AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE - Service Adjustment Procedures
NOTE
When adjusting the reducing pressure, aim for the center
value (425 kPa, 60 psi) of the standard value allowance.
Standard value: 415-435
kPa (59-62 psi)
Oil pressure change for each turn of adjustment screw: 22
kPa (3.1 psi) . . . FWD (Up to MODEL 1990)
45
kPa (6.4 psi) . . . FWD (From MODEL 1990.5, AWD)
3. Install the oil filter and oil pan in the same way as for adjustment of the line pressure.
4. Make the oil pressure test. Readjust if necessary.
(If the scan tool is used)
1. Using the scan tool, forcibly drive the pressure control
solenoid valve at 50% duty, and measure the kick-down
brake apply pressure.
If the kick-down brake apply pressure does not exist within
the standard value width, adjust the pressure with the
reducing pressure adjustment screw.
Standard value: 275 + 10 kPa (39 + 1 psi)
Oil pressure change for each turn of adjustment screw:
25 kPa (3.6 psi) FWD (Up to MODEL 1990)
22
kPa (3.1 psi) FWD (From MODEL 1990.5), AWD
2. Check to be sure that the reducing pressure (after the
adjustment is completed) is within the range of 360-480
kPa (51 -68 psi.).
Caution
This adjustment should be made at an oil
temperature
of 70- 80°C
(160- 180°F).
If the adjustment is made at a temperature that is too
high, the line pressure will drop during idling, with the
result that it might not be possible to make the correct
adjustment.

2.Install the grommet so that, as shown in the illustration, the
cable attachment part is positioned upward.
Caution
(1) The cable arrangement should be made so that the radius of cable bends is 150 mm (5.9 in.) or more.
(2) The arrangement of the speedometer cable should be such that it does not interfere with brake tubes,
etc.
3. At the transaxle end of the speedometer cable, the key
joint should be inserted into the transaxle, and the
nut
should be securely tightened.
Caution
If the cable is not correctly and securely connected, it
may cause incorrect indication by the speedometer, or
abnormal noise. Be sure to connect it correctly.
