TRANSAXLE
Inspect fluid levelMOOSSDA
1. Drive until the fluid temperature reaches the usual ternperature
[70-80°C (160- 18O”F)I.
2. Plaice vehicle on level floor.
3.Move selector lever sequentially to every position to fill
torque converter and hydraulic circuit with fluid, then place lever in “N” Neutral position. This operation is
necessary to be sure that fluid level check is accurate.
4. Before removing dipstick, wipe all dirt from area around
dipstick. Then take out the dipstick and check the
condition of the fluid.
The transaxle should be overhauled under the following
conditions.l If there is a “burning” odor.
l If the fluid color has become noticeably blacker.
l If there is a noticeably great amount of metal particles in the fluid.
5.Chleck to see if fluid level is in “HOT” range on dipstick.
If fluid level is low, add ATF until level reaches “HOT”
range.
LO\N fluid level can cause a variety of conditions
because it allows pump to take in air along with fluid. Air
trapped in hydraulic circuit forms bubbles which make
fluid spongy. Therefore, pressures will be erratic. Improper filling can also raise fluid level too high. When
transaxle has too much fluid, gears churn up foam and cause same conditions which occur with low fluid level,
resulting in accelerated deterioration of ATF.In either case, air bubbles can cause overheating, fluid
oxidation, which can interfere with normal valve, clutch,
and servo operation. Foaming can also result in fluid escaping from transaxle vent where it may be mistaken
for a leak.
6. Be sure to examine fluid on dipstick closely. Chaqge
fluid
Drain
tlhe fluid and check whether there is any evidence of
contamination. Replenish with new fluid after the cause of any contamina-
tion
has been corrected.
(1) Rernove drain plugs to let fluid drain.
(2) Rernove the oil pan.
(3) Check the oil filter for clogging and damage and replace
if necessary.
(4) Clean the inside of oil pan and 5 magnets.
(5) Attach the five magnets to the concave part of the oil
pan.

(6) Clean both gasket surfaces of transaxle case and oil
pan.
(7) Install oil pan with new gasket and tighten oil pan bolts
to
IO-I 2 Nm (7.5-8.5 ftlbs.)
(8) Tighten drain plug with gasket to 30-35 Nm (22-25 ft.lbs.).
(9) Supply 4
dm3 (4.23 qts.) of specified ATF into case
through dipstick hole. [Total quantity of ATF required is 6.1
dm3 (6.45 qts.).
Actually however, approx. 4.5 dm3 (4.76 qts.) of fluid
car1 be replaced because rest of fluid remains in torque converter.]

(1O)Star-t engine and allow to idle for at least two minutes.
Then, with parking brake on, move selector
fever
momentarily to each position, ending in “N” Neutral
position.
(11)Add sufficient ATF to bring fluid level to lower mark.
Recheck fluid level after transaxle is at normal Operating
temperature. Fluid level should be between upper and lower marks of
“HOT” range, Insert dipstick fully to prevent dirt from
entering transaxle.

COOLANT (Change)MOOSEEAC
Check the cooling system parts, such as radiator, heater,
and oil cooler hoses, thermostat and connections for
leakage and damage.
CHANGE COOLANT
1. Remove the radiator cap.
2. Loosen the drain plug to drain the coolant.
3. Drain the coolant from the reserve tank.
4. After draining the coolant, tighten the drain plug securely.
5.Supply the coolant into the radiator until it is filled up to
its filler neck.
6. Supply the coolant into the reserve tank.
7. After warming the engine until the thermostat opens, remove the radiator cap and check the coolant level.
8.Supply the coolant into the radiator until it is filled up to
its filler neck, and install the radiator cap securely.
9.Fill the reserve tank with coolant up to the “FULL” line.

1 12.DISC BRAKE PADS (Inspect for wear) MWSBFA
Check for fluid contamination and wear. Replace complete
set of pads if defective.
Caution
The pads for the right and left wheels should be
reDlaced at the same time. Never “split” or intermix
brkke pad sets.
All four pads must be replace as a complete set.
Thickness of lining (A)
Limit: 2.0 mm (.08 in.)
13.REAR DRUM BRAKE LININGS AND REAR
WHEEL CYLINDERS (Inspect for wear and
leaks)MOOSBGB
1. Remove the brake drum and check the thickness of brake shoe lining for wear. Check the automatic brake
adjusting system by hand to see if it operates smoothly.
Also see if the gears are in proper mesh with each
other. To assure smooth functioning, apply a very thin
coat of multipurpose grease to the friction surface of
adjuster and link shaft.

2.Inspect the wheel cylinder boots for evidence of a brake
fluid leak. Visually check the boots for cuts, tears or heat cracks. (A slight amount of fluid on the boot may
not be a leak, but may be preservative fluid used at
assembly.)
Checking the Brake Shoes for Wear. Thiclkness
of lining (B)
Limit: 1.0 mm
(.04 in.)
14.BRAKEI HOSES (Check for deterioration or
leaks)MOOSBHA
Inspection of brake hoses and tubing should be included in
all brake service operations.
The hoses should be checked for: 1. Correct length, severe surface cracking, pulling, scuf- fing or worn spots. (If the fabric casing of the hoses is
exposed by cracks of abrasion in the rubber hose cover,
the hoses should be replaced. Eventual deterioration of hose may occur with possible bursting failure.)
2. Faulty installation, casing twisting or interference with wheel, tire of chassis.
15.BALL ,IOINT AND STEERING LINKAGE SEALS
(Inspect for grease leaks and damage)
MOOSBJAa
I, These components, which are permanently lubricated at the factory, do not require periodic lubrication.Damaged seals and boots should be replaced to
prevent leakage or contamination of the grease.
2. Inspect the dust cover and boots for proper sealing, leakage and damage. Replace them if defective. 16.DRIVE SHAFT BOOTS (Inspect for grease leaks
and damage) MOOSWAb
1. The.se components, which are permanently lubricated
at the factory, do not require periodic lubrication.
Damaged boots should be replaced to prevent leakage
or contamination of the grease.
2. Inspect the boots for proper sealing, leakage and damage. Replace it if defective.
17.REAR AXLE (Inspect oil level)-AWD MOOSBPQ
Remove the filler plug and inspect the oil level at bottom of
filler hole. If the oil level is slightly below the filler hole, it is
in satisfactory condition. 18.EXHAIJST
SYSTEM (CONNECTION PORTION
OF MUFFLER, PIPING AND CONVERTER HEAT
SHIELDS) (Check and service as
require$LsBU
1. Check for holes and gas leaks due to damage, corro- sion, etc.
2.Check the joints and connections for looseness and gas
leaks.
3. Check the hanger rubber and brackets for damage.
