TRANSAXLE CLEANING AND CHECK
Clean the gears, bearings, shafts, synchronizers, t hrust wash-
ers, oil feeder, shifter mechanism, gear case, and
with solvent. Dry all parts except the bearings with compressed
air. Allow the bearings to either air dry or wipe t
hem dry
with clean shop towels. Inspect the gears, bearings, shafts and thrust wash ers.
Replace the bearings and cups if the rollers are wo rn, chipped,
cracked, flat spotted or brinnelled, or if the bearing cage
is damaged or distorted. Replace the thrust washers if cracked,
chipped, or worn. Replace the gears if the teeth are chipped,
cracked, or wore thin. Inspect the synchronizers. R eplace
the sleeve if worn or damaged in any way. Replace t he stop
rings if the friction material is burned, flaking off, or worn.
Check the condition of the synchronizer keys and sp rings.
Replace these
if worn, cracked, or distorted.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Precautions to be taken when disassembling and the
l
Because the automatic transaxle is composed of component parts high degree of
precision, these parts should be very carefully han dled during disassembly andassembly so as not
to scar or scratch them.
A rubber mat should be placed on the workbench, it should kept clean.
During disassembly, cloth gloves or shop towels sho uld not be used. If
items must be used,
either use articles made of nylon, or use paper tow els.
All disassembled parts must be thoroughly cleaned.
Metal parts may be cleaned with ordinary detergents , but must be thoroughly air dried.
Clean the clutch disc, resin thrust plate and rubber parts by using transmission fluid),
being very careful that dust, dirt, etc. do not adhere to them.
Do not reuse gaskets, oil seals, or rubber parts.
Replace such parts with new ones at every reassembl y. The’ O-ring of the oil level gauge need not
be replaced.
Do not use grease other than petrolatum jelly.
Apply ATF to friction components, rotating parts, a nd sliding parts before installation.
A new clutch disc should be immersed in ATF for at least two hours before installation.
Do not apply sealer or adhesive to gaskets.
When a bushing
be replaced, replace the assembly in which incorporated.
If the transaxle main unit is damaged, also disasse mble and clean the cooler system.
