Adjustment of the adjusting screw
1) Using a ST, immobilize the end of the 10 mm-screw
projecting on the left side of the transmission case, and
loosen the nut with a double-end wrench.
In the case of occurrence of problems 2. and 3. mentioned
previously, perform the adjustment by loosening or tighten-
ing the nut within a range of 3/4 turn from this state.

CAUTION:
Do not loosen excessively; otherwise, the band strut
on the servo piston will drop off.

2) In case of the occurrence of problems 1. and 4. men-
tioned previously, perform the adjustment as follows:
Adjusting procedure: Tighten adjust screw to 9 N⋅m (0.9
kg-m, 6.5 ft-lb) torque, then back off three turns.
CAUTION:
Do not tighten the adjusting screw with an excessively
large torque.
