FRONT TOWING PICKUP
Caution
\‘i
d
This vehicle cannot be towed by a wrecker using sling-typeequipment to prevent the bumper from deformation.
If this vehicle is towed, use wheel lift or flat bed equip-
ment.The vehicle may be towed on its rear wheels for extended
distances provided the parking brake is released. It is recom-
mended that vehicles be towed using the front pickup
whenever possible.
REAR TOWING PICKUP
Caution
This vehicle cannot be towed by a wrecker using sling-typeequipment to prevent the bumper from deformation.
If this vehicle is towed, use wheel lift or flat bed equip-
\
ment.‘L*3Manual transaxle vehicles may be towed on the front wheels,
provided the transaxle is in neutral and the drive-line has not
been damaged. The steering wheel must be clamped in the
straight-ahead position with a steering wheel clamping device
designed for towing service use.
CautionDo not use steering column lock to secure front wheel
position for towing.
Automatic transaxle vehicle may be towed on the front wheels
at speeds not to exceed 50 km/h (30 mph) for a distances not to
exceed 30 km (18 miles).
CautionIf these limits cannot be met, the front wheels must be
placed on a tow dolly.
TOWING WHEN KEYS ARE NOT AVAILABLE
When a locked vehicle must be towed and keys are not
available, the vehicle may be lifted and towed from the front,
provided the parking brake is released. If not released, the rear
wheels should be placed on a tow dolly.

FRONT WHEEL MEASUREMENTS1. Place the front wheels on the brake tester.
2. Perform the brake test.
CautionThe rear wheels should remain on the ground.
3.If the brake dragging force exceeds the specified value, jack
up the vehicle and manually rotate each wheel to check the
rotation condition of each wheel.
NOTEIf the brake dragging force exceeds the specified value, the
cause may be the effect of the viscous coupling’s dragging
force, so jack up the front wheels and check the rotation
condition of the wheels in this state for no effect by the
viscous coupling’s dragging force.
REAR WHEEL MEASUREMENTSAfter placing the rear wheels on the brake tester, follow the
same procedures as for the front wheel measurements.
WHEEL BALANCE
FRONT WHEEL MEASUREMENTS‘d
1. Jack up the rear wheels, and place an axle stand at the
designated part of the side sill.
2. Jack up the front wheels and set a pick-up stand and
balancing machine in place.
Caution
1.Set so that the front and rear of the vehicle are at
the same height.
2. Release the parking brake.
3. Rotate each wheel manually and check to be sure
that there is no dragging.
3. Use the engine to drive the tires, and then make the
measurements.
Caution
1.If an error is indicated in the state of engine drive,
motor drive can be used concurrently.
2. Do not operate the clutch suddenly, or increase or
reduce speed suddenly during the work.
REAR WHEEL MEASUREMENTS1. Jack up the front wheels, and place an axle stand at the
designated part of the side sill.
2. Jack up the rear wheels, and then, after setting a pick-up
stand and balancing machine in place; follow the same
procedure as for front wheel measurements.

necessary.
(5) Clean drain plug and tighten drain plug with gasket to 30

(6) Clean both gasket surfaces of transaxle case and oil pan.
(7) Install oil pan with new gasket and tighten oil pan bolts to
10 - 12 Nm (7.5 - 8.5 ft.lbs.).
(8) Pour 4.5 liters (4.8 qts.) of specified ATF into case through
dipstick hole. [Total quantity of ATF required is approx. 7.5
liters (7.9 qts.). Actually however, approx. 4.5 liters (4.8 qts.)
of fluid can be replaced because rest of fluid remains in
torque converter.]
Specified fluid: Dia ATF SP or MITSUBISHI PLUS ATF or
equivalent(9) Start engine and allow to idle for at least two minutes.
Then, with parking brake on, move selector lever momen-
tarily to each position, ending in “N” Neutral position.
(lO)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.

Remove the reservoir tank and discharge coolant.
When coolant has been discharged, pour water through the
filler port to flush coolant passage.
Coat the threads of the engine drain plugs with the
specified sealant and tighten the plugs to specification.
Specified sealant: 3M Nut Locking Part No. 4171 or

Mount the reserve tank.
Slowly pour coolant into the radiator to the brim and also
into the reserve tank up to the FULL line.

DIAGNOSIS AND TEST
FLUID LEVEL AND CONDITION
1.Drive until the fluid temperature reaches the usual tempera-
ture
[70 - 80°C (160 - 18O”F)].2. Place 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.
lIf there is a noticeably great amount of metal particles in
the fluid.
5.Check to see if fluid level is in “HOT” range on dipstick. If
fluid level is low, add automatic transaxle fluid until level
reaches “HOT” range.
Low 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 automatic transaxle
fluid.
dIn 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.
,CONTROL CABLEWhether control cable is properly adjusted can be confirmed by
checking whether inhibitor switch is performing well.
1. Apply parking brakes and service brakes securely.
2. Place selector lever to “R” range.
3. Set ignition key to “ST” position.
4. Slowly move the selector lever upward until it clicks as it
fits in notch of “P” range. If starter motor operates when
lever makes a click, “P” position is correct.
5.Then slowly move selector lever to “N” range by the same
procedure as in foregoing paragraph. If starter motor
operates when selector lever fits in
“N”, “N” position is
correct.
6. Also check to be sure the vehicle doesn’t begin to move
and the lever doesn’t stop between P-R-N-D.
7. The control cable is properly adjusted if, as described
above, the starter motor starts at both the “P” range and
the “N” range.

CONVERTER STALL TESTStall test consist of determining maximum engine
speed obtained at full throttle in “D” and
“I?”positions. This test checks torque converter
statoroverrunning clutch operation, and holding ability of
transaxle clutches and low-reverse brake.
Caution
During this test, make sure that no one stand in
front of or behind vehicle.
1. Check transaxle fluid level. Fluid should be at
normal operating temperature
[70 - 80°C (160 -
18O”F)I. Engine coolant should also be at normal
operating temperature
[80 - 90°C (180 - 19O”F)l.2. Apply chocks to both rear wheels.
3. Attach engine tachometer.
4. Apply parking and service brakes fully.
5. Start engine.
6. With selector lever in “D” position, depress
accelerator pedal fully to read engine maximum
rpm. Do not hold throttle wide open any longer
than is necessary to obtain maximum engine
rpm reading, and never longer than 5 seconds at
a time. If more than one stall test is required,
operate engine at approximately 1,000 rpm in
neutral for 2 minutes to cool transaxle fluid
between tests.
Stall speed: 2,200
- 3,200 rpm
7.Place selector lever to “R” position and perform
stall test by the same procedure as in foregoing
item.
Stall Speed Above Specification in “D”
If stall speed is higher than specification, rear clutch
or overrunning clutch of transaxle is slipping. In this
case, perform hydraulic test to locate cause of
slippage.
Stall Speed Above Specification in “R”
If stall speed is higher than specification, front
clutch of transaxle or low-reverse brake is slipping.
In this case, perform hydraulic test to locate cause
of slippage.
Stall Speed Below Specification in “D” and “R”
If stall speed is lower than specification, insufficient
engine output or faulty torque converter is sus-
pected. Check for engine misfiring, ignition timing,
valve clearance, etc. If these are good, torque
converter is faulty.
