1994 MAZDA MX-5 manual transmission

K TRANSMISSION 0 (3) Hold the stem and tighten the locknut. Tightening torque: 15--39 N-m (1.5-4.0 kgf-m, 11-28 ftelbf) Caution Applying compressed air to the servo piston for longer than 3 seconds at a time will damage the seal. I 1 37. Check the servo piston operation by applying com- 45UOM431 pressed air through the oil passage of the fourth gear band servo. Air pressure: 392 kPa (4.0 kg/cm2, 57 psi) max. MANUAL PLATE 38. Set a new gasket on the fourth gear band servo. Install the fourth gear band servo cover. Tightening torque: 5.0-6.8 N-m (50-70 kgfscm, 44--60 indbf) 39. Apply ATF to a new O-ring and install it onto the solenoid valve connector. 40. Install the solenoid valve connector in the transmission case. 41. Set the valve body assembly in piston, and align the manual plate and manual valve. 42. Install the bolts. Tightening torque: 10.8-14.7 N.m (110--150 kgf-cm, 95.5--130 in-lbf) Gartner Banana

K TRANSMISSION 52. Apply ATF to a new O-ring and install it onto the vehicle speed pulse generator. 53. Apply locking compound to the mounting bolt threads, then install the vehicle speed pulse generator. Tightening torque: 7.9-10.7 N-m (80-110 kgtcm, 70-95.4 inmlbf) 54. Apply ATF to the new O-rings and install them into the transmission case. 55. Install the lockup control solenoid. 56. Rotate the manual shaft fully rearward; then return it two notches to the N position. 57. Loosely tighten the parwneutral switch nuts. 58. Remove the screw on the switch body and move the parklneutral switch so that the screw hole on the switch body is aligned with the small hole inside the switch. - Check their alignment by inserting a 2.0mm (0.0079 in) diameter pin into the holes. 59. Tighten the switch attaching nuts. 60. Remove the pin, and tighten the screw into the hole. Tightening torque: 5.0--6.8 Nem (50-70 kgfecrn, 44-60 in-lbf) 61. Ensure that the torque converter is installed correctly by measuring the distance (A) between the end of the torque converter and the end of the converter housing. "A": 22.5mm (0.89 in) 62. Remove the transmission from the engine stand. Gartner Banana

M DIFFERENTIAL SLEEVE BLOCK BOLT (MI 4 x 1.5) dl Removal note Power plant frame (PPF) 1. Disconnect the wire harness from the PPF. 2. Support the transmission with a jack. 3. Remove the power plant frame bracket. (Manual trans- mission) 4. Remove the differential-side bolts, and pry out the spacer. 5. Remove the differential mounting spacer. 6. Turn a bolt (MI4 x 1.5) into the sleeve. 7. Twist and pull the bolt downward. 8. Install a bolt (M6 x 1) into the hole in the block to hold the sleeve, and remove the long bolt (MI4 x 1.5). 9. Remove the bolt ,(M6 x 1). Gartner Banana
