The torque converter, propeller shaft, and differential can be sources of abnormal noise and vibration if they are not functioning properly. Check these when searching for sources of noise and vibration. Stuck accumulators Stuck or no one-way check orifice Stuck 3-2 control solenoid valve Stuck 3-2 control valve Worn clutches, brakes, or one-way clutch Kickdown Drive the vehicle in fourth gear, third gear, and 2nd gear and check that kickdown occurs for 4-+3,4-+2, 4+1,3+2,3+1, 2+1, and that the shift points are as shown in the shift diagram. ,U (Refer to pages K-29, 30.) S-RANGE TEST Shift Pattern For this test it is not necessary to inspect shift shock and shift points, since they are almost exactly the same as those for the D-range test. However, in the D-range (Normal) shift diagram, the shift points are different. In S range, the shift patterns for Normal mode are the same. 1. Shift the selector lever to S range and select the Normal mode. 2. Accelerate the vehicle and verify that 1-2 and 2-3 up-and downshifts are obtained, and that no fourth gear and no lockup (below approx. 100 kmlh (63 mph}) are obtained. 3. While driving in S range (Normal mode) and third gear, select the Hold mode and verify that third gear is held until ihe 3-2 downshift point as shown in the S range (Hold) shift diagram is achieved. 4. Accelerate the vehicle in S range (Hold mode) and verify that 2nd gear is held.

TRANSMISSION TRANSMISSION UNIT (DISASSEMBLY) Preparation SST 49 H075 4958 Body (Part of 49 U019 OAOA) For disassembly of transmission For disassembly of transmission For disassembly of transmission 49 U019 OAOA Hanger set, transmission 49 U019 003 Holder (Part of 49 U019 OAOA) For disassembly of transmission For disassembly of transmission Precaution General notes: 1. The oil pan could contain small chips, shavings, and other particles helpful in checking the condition of the transmission and diagnosing certain problems. To ensure that all foreign particles stay in the oil pan, make sure that the transmission is never tipped completely over while the oil pan is still installed. L/ 2. Disassemble transmission in a clean area (dust proof work space) to prevent entry of dust into the mech- anisms. 3. Inspect the individual transmission components in accordance with the QUICK DIAGNOSIS CHART during disassembly. 4. Use only plastic hammers when applying force to separate the light alloy case joints. 5. Never use rags during disassembly; they may leave particles that can clog fluid passages. 6. Several parts resemble one another; organize them so they do not get mixed up. 7. Disassemble the control valve assembly and thoroughly clean it when a clutch or brake band is burned; or when the ATF has degenerated. Cleaning notes: 1. Clean the transmission exterior thoroughly with steam or cleaning solvents, or both, before disassembly. Warning Using compressed air can cause dirt and other particles to fly out, causing injury to the eyes. Wear protective eye wear whenever using compressed air. 2. Clean the removed parts with cleaning solvent, and dry with compressed air. Clean out all holes and passages with compressed air, and check that there are no obstructions. Gartner Banana

TRANSMISSION K Procedure 1. Place wooden blocks under the transmission at the con- verter housing and the extension housing positions. 2. Remove the oil pan and gasket. Examine any material found in the pan or on the magnet to determine the condition of the transmission. Clutch facing material . . . . . Drive plate and brake band wear Steel (magnetic) . . . . . . . . . . Bearing, gear, and driven plate wear Aluminum (nonmagnetic) . . Bushings or cast alumi- num parts wear If large amounts of material are found, replace the torque converter and carefully check the transmission for the cause. 3. Install the oil pan and gasket with a few bolts to protect the valve body. 4. Remove the vacuum diaphragm, lockup control solenoid valve, vehicle speed pulse generator, and O-rings. 5. Remove the parwneutral switch. 6. Remove the speedometer driven gear from the exten- sion housing. 7. Remove the O-ring from the speedometer driven gear. Gartner Banana

Install the SST to the oil pump assembly. 24. Slowly remove the oil pump from the transmission case by evenly sliding the weights of the SST. 25. Remove the SST from the oil pump. 26. Loosen the piston stem of the fourth gear band servo. Remove the fourth gear connecting shell and fourth gear planetary gear unit (fourth gear sun gear, fourth gear planetary pinion carrier, fourth gear clutch hub), and di- rect clutch. 27. Remove the fourth gear brake band, and hold it together with a piece of wire as shown in the figure. 28. Remove the band strut. Gartner Banana
