1. Oil pan
2. Control valve body cover
3. Oil pump
4. Inhibitor switch
5. Speedometer driven gear
6. Pulse generator (G4A-EL)
7. Oil filler tube

76G07B-085
10. Driveshaft
11. Square head plug
12. Transaxle case
13. Drain plug
14. Oil cooler return pipe
15. Oil cooler outlet pipe
16. Fluid temperature switch (G4A-EL)
17. Blind plugs
18. Governor cover (G4A-HL)
Inspection of Level
1. Apply the parking brake and position wheel chocks
to prevent the car from rolling forward.
Note
Place the car on a flat, level surface.
2. Run the engine so that the automatic transaxle fluid
reaches specified temperature.
3. While the engine is idling, shift the select lever from
P to L or P to 1 and back again.
4. Let the engine idle.
5. Shift the select lever to P.

6. Ensure that the ATF level is between the F and L
marks. Add ATF to specification, if necessary.
Low temperature scale:
20°C (68°F)
High temperature scale:
65°C (149°F)
ATF type:
Dexron II or M HI
Inspection of Condition
1. Check the ATF for discoloration.
2. Check the ATF for any unusual smell.
Note
Determine whether or not the automatic trans-
mission should be disassembled by observ-
ing the condition of fluid carefully.
If the fluid is muddy and varnished, it indicates
burned drive plates.
SELECTOR LEVER
Inspection
1. Check that the selector lever can only be shifted
as shown in the figure.
2. Make sure there is a click at each range when shift-
ed from P <-> L or P <-» 1 range.
3. Check that the position of the selector lever and
the indicator are exact.
4. Check that the button returns smoothly when used
to shift the selector.
Adjustment
1. Loosen locknuts A, B, and lockbolt C.
2. Shift the selector lever to P range.
3. Shift the transaxle to P range by moving the man-
ual shaft of the transaxle.
4. While holding the selector lever forward in P range,
tighten lockbolt C to the specified torque.
Tightening torque:
8—11 N-m (80—110 cm-kg, 67—95 in-lb)

spacer.
6. Tighten locknut B to the specified torque.
Tightening torque:
8—11 N m (80—110 cm-kg, 67—96 in-lb)
7. Shift the selector lever to N range.
8. With the button on the selector lever knob pressed,
push the selector toward R range with a force of
20 N (2 kg, 4.4 lb) and check the amount of move-
ment (a) at the selector lever knob.
9. Pull the selector lever toward D range in the same
manner and check the amount of movement (b).
10. Verify the stroke difference of (a) and (b) is as
specified.
Stroke difference: 8 mm (0.315 in) max.
Note
If not with in specification, readjust locknuts
A and B.
11. Check the selector lever operation.
(Refer to Inspection section.)
