Transaxle Disassembly

  1. Remove drain plug and drain transmission fluid. Remove the torque converter. Check torque converter one-way clutch. Refer to TORQUE CONVERTER . Remove dipstick and dipstick tube. Remove oil cooler tube. Set manual lever to "P" position. Remove inhibitor switch. Remove oil pan and gasket. See Fig 1. DO NOT  reuse oil pan bolts.
  2. Remove control valve assembly bolts. See Figure. Remove clip from terminal body. Push terminal body into transaxle case and remove solenoid harness. Remove manual valve from control valve assembly. Remove return spring from 3-R accumulator piston. Using compressed air, remove 3-R accumulator piston. See Fig 2.
  3. Remove "O" rings from 3-R accumulator piston. Using compressed air, remove N-D accumulator piston and return spring. See Fig 2. Remove "O" rings from N-D accumulator piston. Check accumulator pistons and contact surface of transaxle case for damage. Check accumulator return springs free length and diameter. See theACCUMULATOR SPRING SPECIFICATIONS  table.

  4. Remove lip seals from band servo oil port. Remove converter housing bolts and remove converter housing by tapping housing with soft-faced hammer. Remove "O" ring from differential oil port.
  5. Remove differential assembly from transaxle case. Use appropriate puller to remove differential side bearing outer race from transaxle case and converter housing. Remove differential side bearing adjustment shim from transaxle case.
  6. Using a hammer and screwdriver, remove oil seal from converter housing, being careful not to damage converter housing. Remove oil tube from converter housing. Remove "O" ring from input shaft. See Fig 4. Remove oil pump assembly bolts and remove oil pump assembly from transaxle case. Remove thrust washer and bearing race from oil pump assembly. Loosen anchor end pin lock nut, then back off anchor end pin.
  7. Remove brake band from transaxle case. When removing brake band, insert wire clip into brake band ends for support. To prevent brake lining from cracking or peeling, DO NOT  stretch brake band. Check brake band facing for damage, cracks, wear or burns. Remove high clutch (with input shaft assembly) and reverse clutch assemblies. Remove high clutch from reverse clutch. See Fig 5.
  8. Remove needle bearing from high clutch drum. Remove high clutch hub and needle bearing from transaxle case. Remove front sun gear and needle bearings from transaxle case. Check all components for damage or wear.
  9. Remove snap ring and front planetary carrier assembly with low one-way clutch. Ensure low one-way clutch rotates counterclockwise only. Remove low one-way clutch from front planetary carrier by rotating one-way clutch counterclockwise. Remove needle bearing from planetary carrier. See Fig 5. Check all components for damage or wear.
  10. Remove rear planetary carrier assembly from transaxle case. Remove rear sun gear from rear planetary carrier. Remove needle bearings from rear planetary carrier. Check all components for damage or wear.
  11. Using a feeler gauge, check clearance between pinion washer and planetary carrier. Clearance between pinion washer and planetary carrier should be .006-.028" (.15-.70 mm). Replace appropriate planetary carrier if clearance exceeds .031" (.80 mm).
  12. Remove rear internal gear from transaxle case. Remove needle bearing from rear internal gear and check bearing for damage or wear. Remove forward clutch assembly from transaxle case. Remove thrust washer from transaxle case. See Fig 1.
  13. Remove side cover bolts. Remove side cover by lightly tapping cover with soft-faced hammer. Remove adjusting shim. Remove output shaft assembly. See Fig 1. Output shaft assembly may be removed together with side cover. DO NOT  drop output shaft assembly. Remove side cover from output shaft assembly (if necessary).
  14. Remove needle bearing. Set manual lever to "P" position to lock idler gear. Using a hammer and pin punch, unlock idler gear lock nut. Remove idler gear lock nut. Use appropriate puller to remove idler gear. Remove reduction gear. Remove adjusting shim from reduction gear.
  15. Remove return spring from parking shaft. Remove parking shaft and parking pawl from transaxle case. Check parking shaft and pawl for wear or damage. Note direction of parking actuator support and remove actuator support from transaxle case. Inspect actuator support for wear or damage. Remove revolution sensor from transaxle. See Fig 1.
  16. Remove manual shaft and throttle lever components. See MANUAL SHAFT & THROTTLE LEVER  under COMPONENT DISASSEMBLY & REASSEMBLY.
