+Valves to control line pressure (Pressure regulator valve, pressure modifier valve, pilot
valve and pilot filter)
+Line pressure solenoid valve (AT-176: General and except for Euro-OBD/AT-239:
Euro-OBD)
3. Disassemble A/T.
4. Check the following items:
+Oil pump assembly
+Torque converter
+Reverse clutch assembly
+High clutch assembly
+Low & reverse brake assembly
+Low one-way clutch

5. Reinstall any part removed.
6. Adjust control cable. Refer to AT-352.
7. Check continuity of PNP switch. Refer to AT-334.
8. Refill transaxle with ATF and check fluid level.
9. Move selector lever through all positions to be sure that tran-
saxle operates correctly. With parking brake applied, idle
engine. Move selector lever through ªNº to ªDº, to ª2º, to ª1º and
ªRº positions. A slight shock should be felt through the hand
gripping the selector each time the transaxle is shifted.
10. Perform road test. Refer to AT-85.

a. Apply compressed air to oil hole of transmission case.
b. Check to see that retaining plate moves to snap ring.
c. If retaining plate does not contact snap ring:
+D-ring might be damaged.
+Oil seal might be damaged.
+Fluid might be leaking past piston check ball.
