HYDRAULIC TEST
PREPARATION
(a) Warm up the transaxle fluid.
(b) Remove the transaxle case test plug and connect the hydraulic pressure gauge.
SST 09992±00094 (Oil pressure gauge)
NOTICE:
wPerform the test at normal operating fluid temperature (122 ±176°F or 50 ± 80°C).
wThe line pressure test should always be carried out in pairs. One should observe the conditions
of wheels or wheel stoppers outside the vehicle while the other is performing the test.
MEASURE LINE PRESSURE
(a) Fully apply the parking brake and chock the four wheels.
(b) Start the engine and check idling rpm.
(e) Step down strongly on the brake pedal with your left foot and shift into D range.
(d) Measure the line pressure when the engine is idling.
(e) Press the accelerator pedal all the way down. Quickly read the highest line pressure when engine
speed reaches stall speed.
(f) In the same manner, perform the test in R range.
If the measured pressure are not up to specified values, recheck the throttle cable adjustment and
perform a retest.

Preliminary Check
1. CHECK TRANSAXLE FLUID LEVEL
HINT:
The vehicle must have been driven so that the engine
and transaxle are at normal operating temperature.
(Fluid temperature: 158 ± 176
°F or 70 ± 80°C)
(a) Park the vehicle on a level surface, set the parking brake.
(b) With the engine idling, shift the shift lever into all
positions from P to L position and return to P position.
HINT: Depress the brake pedal.
(e) Pull out the transaxle dipstick and wipe it clean.
(d) Push it back fully into the tube.
(e) Pull it out and check that the fluid level is in the HOT
range.
If the level is at the low side, add fluid.
Fluid type: A540E ATF DEXRON II
A540H ATF Type T (08886±00405) or equivalent
NOTICE: Do not overfill.
2. (A540H)
CHECK TRANSFER OIL LEVEL
(a) Park the vehicle on a level surface, set the parking brake.
(b) Pull out the transfer dipstick and wipe it clean.
(e) Push it back fully into the tube.
(d) Pull it out and check the oil level as shown in the illustra-
tion.
Oil type: Transaxle oil E50 (08885±80206), AP GL5,
SAE 75W ± 90 or equivalent
NOTICE: Do not overfill.

Capacity:
Dry fill: 7.0 liter (7.4 US qts, 6.2 Imp. qts)
Drain and refill:
3.3 liter (3.5 US qts, 2.9 Imp. qts)
(d) Start the engine and shift the selector into all positions
from P through L and then shift into P.
(e) With the engine idling, check the fluid level. Add fluid
up to the COOL level on the dipstick.
(f) Check the fluid level with the normal fluid temperature
(158 ± 1765 F or 70 ± 805C) ±and add as
necessary.
NOTICE: Do not overfill.
5. (A540H)
REPLACE TRANSFER OIL
(a) Remove the drain plug and drain the oil.
(b) Install the drain plug.
(e) Add new oil through the filler tube.
SST 09043±38100
Oil type: Transaxle oil E50 (08885±80206) or
equivalent
Recommended oil:

Above ±18
°C (0°F) SAE 90W
below ±18°C (0°F) SAE 80W
NOTICE: 0.7 liter (0.74 US qts, 0.62 Imp. qts)
(d) Check the oil level and add as necessary.
NOTICE: Do not overfill.
3. CHECK FLUID CONDITION
If the fluid smells burnt or is black, replace it.
4. REPLACE TRANSAXLE FLUID
NOTICE: Do not overfill.
(a) Remove the drain plug and drain the fluid.
(b) Install the drain plug.
(c) Add new fluid through the filler tube.

Precautions for storing moulding material:
wStore in a cool place, avoiding direct sunlight, high
temperatures and dust.
wThe moulding is of polyvinyl chloride, so do not allow it to
come in contact with thinner or other solvent, open flame,
or boiling water.
wThe storage time for the moulding, adhesive and Primer T
is limited to about 9 months.
