DESCRIPTION OF E4N71B
I
The Model E4N71B automatic transmission is the
latest addition to Niaan's lineup
of transmissions.
This transmission
is based on the model L4N71B
(mounted on the 1983 model 810), and can pro-
vide lockup of
all forward speeds (1st to 4th speed)
by electronic control.
By use of a microcomputer, the electronic-control-
led lockup system permits lockup of
all forward
speeds (1st to 4th speed)
Either shifting pattern ("standard" or "power")
is
automatically selected by programs set in the
lockup control unit depending on the speed
at
which the accelerator pedal is depressed These
programs are
set in response to the vehicle speed
and throttle position

GENERAL SERVICE NOTICE
Repai
Before proceeding with disassembly, thorough-
ly clean the outside of the transmission It IS
important to prevent the internal parts of the
transmission from becoming contaminated by
dirt or other foreign matter.
Disassembly should
be done in a clean work
area. Use
a nylon cloth or paper towel for wiping
parts clean. Common
shop rags can leave lint
that might interfere with the transmission's
operation.
When disassembling parts, be sure to place
them in order
in parts rack so they can be put
back in the unit
in their proper positions
All parts should be carefully cleaned with a
general purpose, non.flammable solvent before
inspection or reassembly.
Gaskets,
seals, and O-rings should be replaced.
It is also very important to perform functional
tests whenever it is designated.
The valve body contains many precision parts

and requires extreme care when parts are
removed and serviced. Place removed parts on
a parts rack so they can be put back in the
valve body in the same positions and
se-
quences. Care will also prevent springs and
small parts from becoming scattered or
lost
Before assembly, apply a coat of recommended
A
T.F. to all parts Vaseline may be applied to
O-rings and
seals. Do not use any grease.
Care should be taken to avoid damaging
O-rings, seals and
gaskets when assembling

Kickdown Switch Adjustment
When the pedal is fully depressed, a click can be
heard just before the pedal bottoms out
If the
click
is not heard, loosen the locknut and extend
the switch until the pedal lever makes contact with
the switch and the switch clicks

Do not allow the switch to make contact too soon.
This would cause the transmission to downshift on
part throttle.
DIAGNOSIS:
Switch can be heard clicking, and the transmission
still does not kickdown:
Check the continuity of the switch.
Also check for
available current.
The vehicle upshifts
at approximately 55 (1st to
2nd) and
90 kmlh (2nd to 3rd) (34 and 56 MPH)
only The kickdown switch may be internally
shorted (When the switch
is shorted, there IS con-
tinuity through the switch in any position).

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
Removal
a Remove bolts securing torque converter to
drive plate.
a. Remove those bolts turning crank shaft.
b. Before removing torque converter, inscribe
matching marks on
two parts so that they may
be replaced in their original positions during
assembly.
a Plug up openings such as oil charging pipe, etc.
CAUTl ON :
Take care when dismounting transmission not to

When connecting torque converter to trans-
mission, measure distance "A" to be certain
that they are correctly assembled.
Distance "A":
More than
35 mm (1.38 in)
Install converter to drive plate
Align matching marks painted across both parts
during disassembly.
Before installing torque converter securing
bolts, apply locking sealer to threads
of bolts.
