renewed as individual units. The C.V. joints are
lubricated in manufacture and need no attention in
service unless one of the r ubber boots is damaged. In
this case the joint can be cl eaned and repacked with
the recommended grease and a new boot installed.

From July 1989, Pulsar Q and Vector SSS manual
transaxle models are equipped with a limited slip
differential incorporating a viscous coupling. The
coupling is not repairable and must be renewed as an
assembly if unserviceable. A test procedure for the
viscous coupling is included in the text in this section.

5. GEAR LEVER ASSEMBLY
TO DISMANTLE AND ASSEMBLE
(1) Remove the gear lever knob and remove the
centre console as described in the Body section. If not
previously removed, remove the rubber boot sur-
rounding the gear lever. (2) Raise the front of the vehicle and support it
on chassis stands. Remove the catalytic converter and
heat shield as described in the Engine section.
(3) Remove the bolt and disconnect the control
rod from the bottom of the gear lever, noting the
position of the return spring and bracket.
(4) Remove the nuts retaining the gear lever
socket to the support rod. (5) Working inside the vehicle, lift the gear lever
out of the floor bracket. (6) Separate the lower rubber boot, socket,
spring seat, spring, upper ball seat and lower ball seat

142 Automatic Transaxle
(8) Install the dipstick and start the engine and
recheck the fluid level.

NOTE; Do not overfill the transaxle or
foaming and unsatisfactory operation of the
transaxle will result.

TO DRAIN AND REFILL
This is not a normal maintenance and lubrication
procedure. It is only necessary to drain the complete
system, including the torq ue converter and the oil
cooler, when the transaxle assembly is removed for
overhaul or the renewal of transaxle components such
as bearings, clutches or as semblies. When this condi-
tion arises, the torque converter and the cooler should
be cleaned and flushed to remove any dirt or sludge.

After transaxle overhaul, install approximately 6
liters of new transaxle fluid, and top up as previously
described.

4. BRAKE BAND
Band adjustment is not a normal maintenance
procedure.

The adjustment entails removal of the valve body
and for this reason the vehicle should be taken to an
authorized dealer.

5. KICKDOWN CABLE
TO ADJUST
(1) On models with a 1.6 liter engine, remove
the air cleaner assembly. (2) With the aid of an assistant, ensure that the
throttle valve is fully open when the throttle pedal is
fully depressed. (3) Push the clip on the outer kickdown cable
and pull the cable away from the throttle linkage.

(4) Slowly depress the throttle pedal to the full
throttle position.

The outer kickdown cable will automatically ad-
just and emit a clicking noise.

6. TRANSAXLE SELECTOR LINKAGE
TO ADJUST CONTROL CABLE
