AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID (ATF) K REPLACEMENT 1. On level ground, jack up the vehicle and support it evenly on safety stands. Warning When the transmission and the ATF are hot, they can cause burns to the skin. Allow the transmis- sion and the ATF to cool before doing this proce- dure. 2. Loosen the oil pan installation bolts, and drain the ATF into a container. 3. Remove the oil pan and gasket. 4. Clean the oil pan and the magnet. 5. Install the oil pan along with a new gasket. Tightening torque: 5.9-7.8 N-m (60-80 kgfecm, 53-69 in-lbf) 6. Add approximately 4.0 L (4.2 US qt, 3.5 Imp qt} ATF, and check the ATF level. (Refer to page K-35.) Specified ATF: DexronmII or M-I11 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

K TRANSMISSION 8. Remove the torque converter, and immediately turn it so that the hole faces upward. This will help to keep any re- maining fluid from spilling. 9. Assemble the SST as shown. 10. Mount the transmission onto the SST. 11. Remove the oil pan and gasket. 12. Remove the magnets. 13. Disconnect the solenoid valve connectors. 14. Remove the harnesses from the bracket. Gartner Banana

TRANSMISSION K 15. Remove the control valve body as shown in the figure. 16. Remove the solenoid valve connector from the transmis- sion case. 17. Mark the converter housing, fourth gear case, and trans- mission case for proper reassembly. 18. Remove the converter housing from the fourth gear case. Caution The converter housing is made of aluminum, and is therefore easily dented and scratched by metal tools. When removing old sealant, do not gouge or strike the sealing surface of the converter housing. 19. Clean the sealing compound from the converter hous- ing. 20. Remove the fourth gear band servo cover and gasket. Gartner Banana

TRANSMISSION K 29. Remove the bearing races and bearing. 30. Remove the intermediate shaft. I 45UOKX-116 31. Loosen the 2nd band servo locknut and tighten the pis- ton stem. I 1 45UOKX-117 32. Separate the drum support, accumulator and fourth gear case from the transmission case by tapping it lightly with a plastic hammer. Remove the gasket. u 45UOKX-118 Remove the bearing races and bearing from the drum support, accumulator and fourth gear case. Remove the bearing from the front clutch hole. Loosen the 2nd band servo piston stem and remove the 2nd band strut. Hold the brake band together with a piece of wire as shown in the figure. Remove the band strut. Gartner Banana
