RADIATOR CAP RADIATOR CAP INSPECTION Radiator Cap Valve 1. Remove foreign material (such as water residue) from between the radiator cap valve and the valve seat. 2. Attach the radiator cap to a radiator cap tester (commer- cially available) with the SST. Apply pressure gradually to 73.6-1 02 kPa (0.75-1 .O5 kgf/cm2, 10.7-1 4.9 psi). 3. Wait about 10 seconds. Verify that the pressure has not decreased. PREPARATION L SST Negative Pressure Valve 1. Pull the negative pressure valve to open it. Verify that it closes completely when released. 2. Check for damage on the contact surfaces and for cracked or deformed seal packing. 3. Replace the radiator cap if necessary. 49 9200 145 Adapter set, radiator cap tester Warning Remove the radiator cap or the coolant drain plug while the engine is running, or when the engine and radiator are hot is dangerous. Scalding cool- ant and steam may shoot out and cause serious injury. It may also damage the engine and cooling system. Turn off the engine and wait until it is cool. Even then, be very careful when removing the cap. Wrap a thick cloth around it and slowly turn it counterclockwise to the first stop. Step back while the pressure escapes. When you're sure all the pressure is gone, press down on the cap - still using a cloth - turn it, and remove it. 05UOEX-014 For inspection of radiator cap valve For inspection of radiator cap valve 49 9200 147 Adapter B (Part of 49 9200 145) Gartner Banana

ENGINE TUNE-UP ENGINE TUNE-UP PREPARATION L" SST r I I 16EOF2-012 BASIC INSPECTION Engine Oil 1. Remove the dipstick and check the engine oil level and condition. 2. Add or change oil as necessary. 49 B019 9AO System Selector Coolant (engine cold) For inspection of ignition timing and idle speed Warning Removing the radiator cap or the coolant drain plug while the engine is running, or when the en- gine and radiator are hot is dangerous. Scalding coolant and steam may shoot out and cause seri- ous injury. It may also damage the engine and cooling system. Turn off the engine and wait until it is cool. Even then, be very careful when remov- ing the cap. Wrap a thick cloth around it and slow- ly turn it counterclockwise to the first stop. Step back while the pressure escapes. When you're sure all the pressure is gone, press down on the cap-still using a cloth-turn it, and remove it. 1. Verify that the coolant level is near the radiator filler neck. 2. Verify that the coolant level on the coolant dipstick is be- tween the F and L marks. 3. Add coolant if necessary. Battery Removing the label on the top of the battery or removing the vent caps will void the battery's warranty. 1. Clean any corrosion on the clamps or battery posts. 2. Verify that the battery top is clean. If necessary, clean with baking soda and water. 3. Verify that cables are in good condition and not frayed or corroded. Repair or replace if necessary. 4. Verify that cable clamps are tight. Note Because this is a maintenance free battery, it is not necessary to check the fluid level. Gartner Banana

K TRANSMISSION DIRECT CLUTCH Preparation SST CLOCKWISE 49 0378 375 Compressor, clutch spring Preinspection Direct clutch operation 1. Install the direct clutch onto the drum support along with the seal rings. Apply compressed air through the oil passage as shown. For removal 1 installation of direct clutch Air pressure: 392 kPa (4.0 kgtcm*, 57 psi) max. 2. Verify that the side plate moves toward the snap ring. If not, the seal ring or O-ring may be damaged or fluid may be leaking at the piston check ball. Inspect them, and re- place as necessary when assembling. Clearance between side plate and snap ring 1. Measure the clearance between the side plate and the snap ring. Clearance Maximum: 0.2mm (0.008 in) i -, 2. Select and install the correct side plate when assern- bling. One-way clutch operation Insert the fourth gear clutch hub on the top of the direct clutch, and verify that the fourth gear clutch hub rotates smoothly when turned clockwise and locks when turned counterclockwise. If not, replace the one-way clutch. Gartner Banana

TRANSMISSION K 21. Insert the fourth gear clutch hub on the top of the direct clutch and verify that the fourth gear clutch hub rotates smoothly when turned clockwise and locks when turned counterclockwise. If it does not, then the one-way clutch is installed upside down. Caution Applying compressed air to the assembled clutch pack for longer than 3 seconds at a time will dam- age the seal. 22. Install the direct clutch onto the drum support along with the seal rings. Apply compressed air to the oil passage and check the clutch operation. Air pressure: 392 kPa {4.0 kglcm2, 67 psi) max.

K TRANSMISSION 5. Apply ATF to the sun gear, and install it into the front planetary pinion carrier with the groove facing the front (arrow). 6. Apply ATF to the sun gear, and install it into the front planetary pinion carrier. REAR PLANETARY GEAR UNIT (CONNECTING DRUM, REAR PLANETARY PINION CARRIER, ONE-WAY CLUTCH) Preinspection One-way clutch operation Install the rear planetary gear unit and verify that the rear , planetary gear unit rotates smoothly when turned clock- wise and locked when turned counterclockwise. If not, replace the one-way clutch. Gartner Banana

TRANSMISSION K 8. Apply ATF to the rear planetary pinion carrier, and install it into the connecting drum. 9. Install the snap ring. 10. Apple petroleum jelly to the bearing, and install it onto the rear planetary pinion carrier with the black surface facing upward. Bearing outer diameter: 70.0mm (2.756 in} 11. Insert the rear planetary gear unit into the transmission case, and verify that the one-way clutch turns counter- clockwise. If it does not, then the one-way clutch is installed upside down.

Note a Clearance becomes smaller by turning the cam clock- wise. 2. Adjust the clearance between the guide plate and the guide pin by turning the cam. 3. Install the selector lever knob and verify that the clear- ance is as specified. 4. If not, repeat from step 2. 5. Remove the selector lever knob. 6. Apply grease to the cam as shown. Gartner Banana

N MANUAL STEERING STEERING GEAR AND LINKAGE Removal / Installation 1. Turn the wheels to the straight-ahead position. 2. Loosen the wheel lug nuts. 4 3. On level ground, jack up the front of the vehicle and support it on safety stands. 4. Remove the wheel. Note Turning the steering wheel while the steering gear is removed will make reinstallation difficult. Do not turn the steering wheel while the steering gear is removed. If the steering wheel is turned in that condi- tion, the clockspring connector may have to be adjusted. (Refer to section T.) 5. Remove the undercover. 6. With the wheels in the straight-ahead position, remove in the order shown in the figure. 7. Install in the reverse order of removal. 8. Adjust the front wheel alignment. (Refer to section R.) 1. Cotter pin 4. Intermediate shaft bolt 5. Mounting bracket bolt .i 2. Nut 3. Tie-rod endlsteering knuckle 6.
