K TRANSMISSION On-vehicle Removal 1. Disconnect the negative battery cable. 2. On level ground, jack up the vehicle and support it evenly on safety stands. w 3. Remove the exhaust pipe. (Refer to page K-45.) 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. 4. Loosen the oil pan installation bolts, and drain the ATF into a container. 5. Disconnect the vacuum hose. 6. Remove the vacuum diaphragm, O-rings, and vacuum diaphragm rod. 7. Remove the oil pan, and the gasket. 8. Disconnect the solenoid valve connector. 9. Remove the harness from the bracket. 10. Remove the control valve body assembly. Gartner Banana

TRANSMISSION K On-vehicle Installation 1. Set the valve body assembly in position, and align the manual plate and manual valve. Tightening torque: 10.8-1 4.7 N.m (11 0-150 kgf-m, 95.5--130 ftalbf) 2. Connect the solenoid valve connector. 3. Install the harness. , . 4. Install the oil pan along with a new gasket. MANUAL PLATE Tightening torque: 5.9-7.8 N.m (60-80 kgf-cm, 53-69 in4bf) 45UOKX-371 5. Install the bolts. Tightening torque: 5.9-7.8 Nsm (60--80 kgf-cm, 53--69 inalbf) 6. Apply ATF to a new O-ring and install it onto the vacuum diaphragm. 7. Apply ATF to a new O-ring and install it into the transmis- sion case. 8. Apply ATF to the vacuum diaphragm rod and vacuum di- aphragm, and install them into the transmission case. Tightening torque: 7.9-1 0.7 N-m (80-1 10 kgf-cm, 70-95.4 in-lbf) 9. Connect the vacuum hose. 10. Install the exhaust pipe. (Refer to page K-148.) 11. Add approximately 4.0 L (4.2 US qt, 3.5 Imp qt) ATF, and check the ATF level. (Refer to page K-35.) Gartner Banana

K TRANSMISSION VACUUM DIAPHRAGM Preparation SST Note Excessive shift shock and improper shifting often indicate a vacuum diaphragm malfunction. 49 GO32 355 Adjustment gauge Warning When the transmission and the ATF are hot, they can cause burns to the skin. Allow the trans- mission and the ATF to cool before doing this procedure. For adjustment of vacuum diaphragm rod On-vehicle Removal 1. On level ground, jack up the vehicle and support it evenly on safety stands. 2. Remove the exhaust pipe. (Refer to page K-45.) 3. Loosen the oil pan mounting bolts, and drain approx. 1.0 L (1.1 US qt, 0.9 Imp qt) of ATF. L' 4. Disconnect the vacuum hose. 5. Remove the vacuum diaphragm, O-rings, and vacuum diaphragm rod. Inspection 1. Check that the vacuum diaphragm rod moves when vac- uum is applied to the vacuum diaphragm. 2. If not correct, replace the vacuum diaphragm. Gartner Banana

Apply ATF to a new O-ring ,and install it into the transmis- sion case. 3. Apply ATF to the vacuum diaphragm rod and vacuum di- aphragm, and install them into the transmission case. Tightening torque: 7.9--10.7 N-m (80-11 0 kgfscm, 70-95.4 inslbf) 4. Connect the vacuum hose. 5. Install the exhaust pipe. (Refer to page K-148.) 6. Add approximately 1.0 L (1.1 US qt, 0.9 Imp qt) ATF, and check the ATF level. (Refer to page K-35.) 7. Warm up the ATF to normal operating temperature (50--80°C, 122-176OF), then check for the following: (1) Fluid leakage (2) Vacuum leakage On-vehicle Adjustment 1. Remove the vacuum diaphragm, vacuum diaphragm rod, and O-rings from the transmission case. (Refer to On-vehicle Removal, page K-130.) 2. Measure dimension N indicated in the figure by using the SST and a scale. 3. Select the proper diaphragm rod from the table.

If the drive plates or brake bands are replaced with new ones, soak the new ones in ATF for at least two hours before installation. 2. Before assembly, apply ATF to all seal rings, rotating parts, O-rings, and sliding parts. 3. All O-rings, seals, and gaskets must be replaced with the new ones included in the overhaul kit. u 4. Use petroleum jelly, not grease, during reassembly. 5. When it is necessary to replace a bushing, replace the subassembly that includes that bushing. 6. Assemble the housing within 10 minutes after applying sealant, and allow it to cure at least 30 minutes after assembly before filing the transmission with ATF. Gartner Banana
