COMPONENT PARTS
General Notes
The instructions here are organized so that you work on only one component group at a time.
This will help avoid confusion from similar±looking parts of different subassemblies being on your
workbench at the same time.
The component groups are inspected and repaired from the converter housing side.
As much as possible, complete the inspection, repair and assembly before proceeding to the next
component group. If a component group can not be assembled because parts are being ordered,
be sure to
keep all parts of that group in a separate container while proceeding with disassembly, inspection,
repair and assembly of other component groups.
Recommended fluid for the automatic transaxle: A540E ATF DEXRONII
A540H ATF Type T or equivalent
Recommended oil for the transfer: Transaxle oil E50, API GL5, SAE 75W±90 or equivalent
GENERAL CLEANING NOTES:
1. All disassembled parts should be washed clean, with any fluid passages and holes blown through with
compressed air.
2. When using compressed air to dry parts, always aim away from yourself to prevent accidentally spraying
automatic transaxle fluid or kerosene in your face.
3. The recommended automatic transaxle fluid or kerosene should be used for cleaning.
PARTS ARRANGEMENT:
1. After cleaning, the parts should be arranged in proper order to allow efficient inspection, repairs, and reas-
sembly.
2. When disassembling a valve body, be sure to keep each valve together with the corresponding spring.
3. New brakes and clutches that are to be used for replacement must be soaked in transaxle fluid for at least
fifteen minutes before assembly.
GENERAL ASSEMBLY:
1. All oil seal rings, clutch discs, clutch plates, rotating parts, and sliding surfaces should be coated with
transmission fluid prior to reassembly.
2. All gaskets and rubber O±rings should be replaced.
3. Make sure that the ends of a snap ring are not aligned with one of the cutouts and are installed in the
groove correctly.
4. If a worn bushing is to be replaced, the subassembly containing that bushing must be replaced.
5. Check thrust bearings and races for wear or damage. Replace if necessary.
6. Use petroleum jelly to keep parts in place.

INSTALLATION OF COMPONENT PARTS
Disassembly, inspection and assembly of each component group have been indicated in the pre-
ceding chapter. Before assembly, make sure, again, that all component groups are assembled cor-
rectly.
If something wrong is found in a certain component group during assembly, inspect and repair this
group immediately.

Type T (08886±00405) or equivalent (A540H)
GENERAL INSTALLATION NOTES:
1. The automatic transaxle is composed of highly precision±finished parts, necessitating careful inspection
before assembly because even a small nick could cause fluid leakage or affect performance.
2. Before assembling new clutch discs, soak them in automatic transaxle fluid for at least two hours.
3. Apply automatic transaxle fluid on the sliding or rotating surfaces of parts before assembly.
4. Use petroleum jelly to keep small parts in their places.
5. Do not use adhesive cements on gaskets and similar parts.
6. When assembling the transaxle, be sure to use new gaskets and O±rings.
7. Dry all parts with compressed air±never use shop rags.

± EFI SYSTEMInspection PrecautionsFI±8
The 3S±FE engine is an in±line 4±cylinder engine with the cylinders numbered 1 ± 2 ± 3 ± 4 from the
front.
The crankshaft is supported by 5 bearing inside the crankcase. These bearing are made of aluminum
alloy.
The crankshaft is integrated with 8 weights for balance. Oil holes are placed in the center of the crank-
shaft to supply oil to the connecting rods, bearing, pistons and other components.
This engine's ignition order is 1 ± 3 ± 4 ± 2. The cylinder head is made of aluminum alloy, with a cross
flow type intake and exhaust layout and with pent±roof type combustion chambers. The spark plugs are
located in the center of the combustion chamber.
The intake manifold has 8 independent long ports and utilizes the inertial supercharging effect to im-
prove engine torque at low and medium speeds.
Exhaust and intake valves are equipped with irregular pitch springs made of special valve spring carbon
steel which are capable of functioning no matter what the engine speed.
The intake side camshaft is driven by a timing belt, and a gear on the intake side camshaft engages with
a gear on the exhaust side camshaft to drive it. The cam journal is supported at 5 places between the
valve lifters of each cylinder and on the front end of the cylinder head. Lubrication of the cam journal and
gear is accomplished by oil being supplied through the oiler port in the center of the camshaft.
Adjustment of the valve clearance is done by means of outer shim type system, in which valve adjusting
shims are located above the valve lifters. This permits replacement of the shims without removal of the
camshafts.
The resin timing belt cover is made of 2 pieces. A service hole is provided in the No. 1 belt cover for ad-
justing the timing belt tension.
Piston are made of high temperature±resistant aluminum alloy, and a depression is built into the piston
head to prevent interference with the valves.
Piston pins are the semi±floating type, with the pins fastened to the connecting rods by pressure fitting,
allowing the pistons and pins to float.
The No. 1 compression ring is made of steel and the No. 2 compression ring is made of cast iron. The oil
ring is made of a combination of steel and stainless steel. The outer diameter of each piston ring is
slightly larger than the diameter of the piston and the flexibility of the rings allows them to hug the cylin-
der walls when they are mounted on the piston rings No. 1 and No. 2 work to prevent gas leakage from
the cylinder and oil ring works to clear oil off the cylinder walls to prevent it from entering the combustion
chambers.
The cylinder block is made of cast iron. It has 4 cylinders which are approximately 2 times the length of
the piston stroke. The top of the cylinders is closed off by the cylinder head and the lower end of the cyl-
inders becomes the crankcase, in which the crankshaft is installed. In .addition, the cylinder block con-
tains a water jacket, through which coolant is pumped to cool the cylinders.
The oil pan is bolted onto the bottom of the cylinder block. The oil pan is an oil reservoir made of
pressed steel shoot. A dividing plate is included inside the oil pan to keep sufficient oil in the bottom of
the pan even when the vehicle is tilted. This dividing plate also prevents the oil from making waves when
the vehicle is topped suddenly and thus shifting the oil away from the oil pump suction pipe.

ders are numbered 1 ± 3 ± 5, and from the front of the LH bank cylinders are numbered 2 ± 4 ±r 6. The crankshaft is
supported by 4 bearings inside the crankcase. These bearing are made of copper and lead alloy.
The crankshaft is integrated with 5 weights for balance. Oil holes are placed in the center of the crankshaft for sup-
plying oil to the connecting rods, pistons and other components.
This engine's ignition order is 1 ± 2 ± 3 ± 4 ± 5 ± 6. The cylinder head is made of aluminum alloy, with a cross flow
type intake and exhaust layout and with pent±roof type combustion chambers. The spark plugs are located in the
center of the combustion chambers.
At,the front and rear of the intake port of the intake manifold, a water passage has been provided which connects
the RH and LH cylinder heads.
Exhaust and intake valves are equipped with irregular pitch springs made of special valve spring carbon steel which
are capable of functioning no matter what the engine speed.
The RH and LH intake camshaft are driven by a single timing belt, and a gear on the intake side camshaft engages
with a gear on the exhaust side camshaft to drive it. The cam journal is supported at 5 (intake) or 4
(exhaust) places between the valve liters of each cylinder and on the front end of the cylinder head. Lubrication of
the cam journals and gears is accomplished by oil being supplied through the oiler port in the center of the camshaft.
Adjustment of the valve clearance is done by means of outer shim type system, in which valve adjusting shims are
located above the valve lifters. The permits replacement of the shims without removal of the camshafts.
The timing belt cover is composed of resin type No. 2 and No. 1 above and below the RH mounting bracket.
Piston are made high temperature±resistant aluminum alloy, and a depression is built into the piston head to prevent
interference with the valves.
