1. Precaution
When disassembling or assembling the automatic
transmission, observe the following instructions.
1) Workshop
Provide a place that is clean and free from dust. Principally
the conventional workshop is suitable except for a dusty
place. In a workshop where grinding work, etc. which pro-
duces fine particles is done, make independent place
divided by the vinyl curtain or the equivalent.
2) Work table
The size of 1 x 1.5 m (40 x 60 in) is large enough to work,
and it is more desirable that its surface be covered with flat
plate like iron plate which is not rusted too much.
3) Cleaning of exterior
(1) Clean the exterior surface of transmission with
steam and/or kerosene prior to disassembly, however it
should be noted that vinyl tape be placed on the air
breather or oil level gauge to prevent infiltration of the
steam into the transmission and also the cleaning job
be done away from the place of disassembly and
assembly.
(2) Partial cleaning will do, depending on the extent of
disassembly (such as when disassembly is limited to
some certain parts).
4) Disassembly, assembly and cleaning
(1) Disassemble and assemble the transmission while
inspecting the parts in accordance with the Diagnostics.
(2) During job, don’t use gloves. Don’t clean the parts
with rags: Use chamois or nylon cloth.
(3) Pay special attention to the air to be used for clean-
ing. Get the moisture and the dust rid of the air as much
as possible. Be careful not to scratch or dent any part
while checking for proper operation with an air gun.
(4) Complete the job from cleaning to completion of
assembly as continuously and speedily as possible in
order to avoid occurrence of secondary troubles
caused by dust. When stopping the job unavoidably
cover the parts with clean chamois or nylon cloth to
keep them away from any dust.
(5) Use kerosene, white gasoline or the equivalent as
washing fluid. Use always new fluid for cleaning the
automatic transmission parts and never reuse. The
used fluid is usable in disassemble and assemble work
of engine and manual transmission.
(6) Although the cleaning should be done by dipping
into the washing fluid or blowing of the pressurized
washing fluid, the dipping is more desirable. (Do not rub
with a brush.) Assemble the parts immediately after the
cleaning without exposure to the air for a while. Besides
in case of washing rubber parts, perform the job quickly
not to dip them into the washing fluid for long time.

A: INSPECTION
1. ATF LEVEL
1) Raise ATF temperature to 60 to 80°C (140 to 176°F)
from 40 to 60°C (104 to 140°F) (when cold) by driving a
distance of 5 to 10 km (3 to 6 miles).
NOTE:
The level of ATF varies with fluid temperature. Pay atten-
tion to the fluid temperature when checking oil level.
2) Make sure the vehicle is level. After selecting all posi-
tions (P, R, N, D, 3, 2, 1), set the selector leveler in“P”
range. Measure fluid level with the engine idling.
NOTE:
After running, idle the engine for one or two minutes before
measurement.
3) If the fluid level is below the center between upper and
lower marks, add the recommended ATF until the fluid level
is found within the specified range (above the center
between upper and lower marks). When the transmission
is hot, the level should be above the center of upper and
lower marks, and when it is cold, the level should be found
below the center of these two marks.
CAUTION:
Use care not to exceed the upper limit level.
ATF level varies with temperature. Remember that
the addition of fluid to the upper limit mark when the
transmission is cold will result in the overfilling of
fluid.
4) Fluid temperature rising speed
By idling the engine
Time for temperature rise to 60°C (140°F) with atmo-
spheric temperature of 0°C (32°F): More than 25 minutes

Time for temperature rise to 30°C (86°F) with atmo-
spheric temperature of 0°C (32°F): Approx. 8 minutes
By running the vehicle
Time for temperature rise to 60°C (140°F) with atmo-
spheric temperature of 0°C (32°F): More than 10 minutes
5) Method for checking fluid level upon delivery or at peri-
odic inspection
Check fluid level after a warm-up run of approx. 10 min-
utes. During the warm-up period, the automatic transmis-
sion functions can also be checked.

Transmission cover
Transmission cover (Defective casting)
The point listed above should be checked for fluid leak.
Checking method is as follows:
(1) Place the vehicle in the pit, and check whether the
leaking oil is ATF or not. The ATF is wine red in color,
and can be discriminated easily from engine oil and
gear oil.
(2) Wipe clean the leaking oil and dust from a suspect-
able area, using a non-inflammable organic solvent
such as carbon tetrachloride.
(3) Run the engine to raise the fluid temperature, and
set the selector lever to“D”in order to increase the fluid
pressure and quickly detect a leaking point. Also check
for fluid leaks while shifting select lever to“R”,“2”, and
“1”.

B: ADJUSTMENT
1. BRAKE BAND
If the following abnormal shifting conditions are noted in a
road test, the brake band must be adjusted.
Improper brake band clearances and their symptoms
Clearance Problem
1. Too wide Upshift from 1st directly to 3rd gear occurs.
2. WideEngine rpm increases abruptly while upshifting from 1st
to 2nd gear or 3rd to 4th gear.
Time lag of at least one second occurs during kickdown
operation from 3rd to 2nd gear.
3. Small“Braking”symptom occurs while upshifting from 2nd to 3rd
gear.
4. Too smallUpshifts from 2nd to 4th gear and downshifts from 4th to
2nd gear occur repeatedly.

2. CHECKING THE HYDRAULIC UNIT OPERATION BY
PRESSURE GAUGE
1) Remove the FL and FR pipes from the hydraulic unit.
G4M0460
2) Connect two pressure gauges to the hydraulic unit.
CAUTION:

Pressure gauges used exclusively for brake fluid
must be used.

Do not employ pressure gauge previously used for
transmission since the piston seal is expanded which
may lead to malfunction of the brake.
3) Bleed air from the pressure gauges.
4) Perform sequence control.
B4M0082A
(1) Connect diagnosis terminals to 3 terminals (K) and
6 terminals (L) of the diagnosis connector beside driver
seat heater unit.
(2) Turn ignition switch ON.
(3) The ABS warning light comes on.
(4) Depress the brake pedal within 0.5 seconds after
the warning light goes out so that the pressure gauge
registers a pressure equal to the initial value.
CAUTION:
Do not depress the clutch pedal.
NOTE:
The engine must not be operating.
