A/T Fluid Level CheckS7RS0B5106002
CAUTION!
Do not use any fluid other than the specified
ATF. Use of any fluid other than the specified
ATF may cause juddering or some other
faulty condition to occur.

Level Check at Normal Operating (Hot) Temperature
– Hot Check1) Drive vehicle so that A/T fluid temperature reach the
normal operating temperature (70 – 80 °C (158 –
176 °F)).
2) Stop vehicle with engine running and place it level.
3) With select lever at “P” range, apply parking brake and place chocks against wheels.
4) Keep engine idling and shift selector slowly to “L” and back to “P” position.
5) With engine idling, pull out fluid level gauge, wipe it off with a clean cloth and put it back into place.
6) Pull out fluid level gauge (1) again and check fluid level indicated on it. The lo west fluid level should be
between FULL HOT (2) and LOW HOT (3). If it is
below LOW HOT, add SUZUKI ATF 3317 or Mobil
ATF 3309 up to FULL HOT.
Automatic transaxle fluid
SUZUKI ATF 3317 or Mobil ATF 3309
NOTE
• Do not race engine while checking fluid level, even after the engine start.
• Do not overfill. Overfilling can cause foaming and loss of fluid through breather.
Then slippage and transaxle failure can
result.
• Bringing the level from LOW HOT to FULL HOT requires 0.4 liters (0.85 / 0.70 US/Imp.
pt).
• If vehicle was driven under high load such as pulling a trailer, fluid level should be
checked about half an hour after it is
stopped.

Level Check at Room (Cold) Temperature – Cold
Check
Fluid level can be checked temporarily at room (cold)
temperature which correspond to 20 – 30 °C (68 – 86
° F). This level check is considered to be preparation
before performing level check under normal operating
(hot) temperature. Checking procedure itself is the same
as that described in “Level Check at Normal Operating
(Hot) Temperature – Hot Check: ”. If fluid level is
between “FULL COLD” (4) and “LOW COLD” (5),
proceed to test drive. And when fluid temperature has
reached normal operating temp erature, check fluid level
again and adjust it as necessary.
CAUTION!
Fluid level check at room (cold) temperature
is recommended only for preparation of level
check under normal (hot) operating
condition.
Failure to perform fluid level check under
normal (hot) operating temperature may
result in damage to transaxle.

General Description
Manual Transaxle Construction and ServicingS7RS0B5201001
The transaxle provides five forward speeds and one reverse speed by means of three synchromeshs and three shafts
(input shaft, countershaft and reverse gear shaft). All forward gears are in constant mesh, and reverse uses a sliding
idler gear arrangement.
The low speed synchronizer sleeve & hub is mounted on countershaft and engaged with countershaft 1st gear or 2nd
gear, while the high speed synchronizer sleeve & hub is don e on input shaft and engaged with input shaft 3rd gear or
4th gear. The 5th speed synchronizer sleev e & hub on input shaft is engaged with input shaft fifth gear mounted on the
input shaft.
To prevent the cracking noise from the reverse gear when shifting transaxle gear into the reverse gear, the reverse
shift braking device is used.
The device utilizes the 5th synchromesh, which is the lever synchro type, to appl y the brake on the input shaft rotation.
The double cone synchronizing mechanism is provided to 2nd gear synchromesh device for high performance of
shifting to 2nd gear.
The countershaft turns the final gear and differential assembly, thereby turning the front drive shafts which are
attached to the front wheels.
For servicing, it is ne cessary to use genuine sealant or its equivalent on mating surfaces of transaxle case which is
made of aluminum. The case fastening bolts must be tight ened to specified torque by means of torque wrench. It is
also important that all parts are thoroughly cleaned with cleaning fluid and air dried before reassembling.
Further, care must be taken to adjust preload of count ershaft taper roller bearings. New synchronizer rings are
prohibited from being lapped with respective gear cones by using lapping compound before they are assembled.

2) Start engine and keep engine at idle with neutral gear position.
3) Without clutch pedal (1) dep ressed, slightly push the
shift lever to re verse position until transaxle emits
gear contact noise. Do not shift the lever to reverse
position.
4) With emitting gear contact noise, be slow to depress clutch pedal (1), and at gear contact noise died
position (release point) stop depressing.
5) Measure distance between release point (4) and full stroke point (5) on clutch pedal (1) which is shown by
“C” in figure.
Clutch release margin
“C”: 25 – 55 mm (0.98 – 2.17 in.)
6) If “C” is not within specificat ion, it is possible that air
is trapped in this system. If suspected so, bleed air
referring to “Air Bleeding of Clutch System”. Upon
completion of above inspection, start engine and
check clutch for proper operation.
