Gear Selection
The shift lever has six positions: E PARK. E REVERSE, N NEUTRAL, E 1st through 4th gear ranges, E 1st through 3rdgear ranges, @ 2nd gear.
Starting is possible only in E and E positions through the use of a slide-type, neutral-safety switch.
Automatic Transaxle (A/f, Gear Position Indicator
The Ay'T gear position indicator in the instrument panel shows which gear has been selected without having to look downat the console.
Clutch€s
The four-speed automatic transmission uses hydraulically-actuated clutches to engage or disengage the transmission gears.When hydraulic pressure is introduced into the clutch drum, the clutch piston moves. This presses the friction discs andsteel plates together, locking them so they don't slip. Power is then transmitted through the engaged clutch pack to itshub-mounted gear. Likewise, when the hydraulic pressure is bled from the clutch pack, the piston releases the friction discsand the steel plates, and they are free to slide past each other. This allows the gear to spin independently on its shaft,transmitting no power.
lst Clutch
The 1st clutch engages/disengages 1st gear, and is located at the end of the mainshaft, just behind the right sroe cover.The 1st clutch is supplied hydraulic pressure by its ATF feed pipe within the mainshaft.
2nd Clulch
The 2nd clutch engagegdisengages 2nd gear, and is located at the middle of the mainshaft. The 2nd clutch is joined
back-to-back to the 4th clutch. The 2nd clutch is supplied hydraulic pressure through the mainshaft by a circutr connect-ed to the internal hvdraulic circuit,
3rd Clutch
The 3rd clutch engages/disengages 3rd gear, and is located at the end of the countershaft. The 3rd clutch is suooliedhydraulic pressure by its ATF feed pipe within the countershaft.
ilth Clutch
The 4th clutch engages/disengages 4th gear, as well as reverse gear, and is located at the middle of the mainshaft. The4th clutch is joined back-to-back to the 2nd clutch. The 4th clutch is supplied hydraulic pressure by its ATF feed pipewith in the mainshaft.

General driving; starts off in 1st, shifts automatically to 2nd, 3rd, then 4th, depending on vehiclespeed and throttle position. Downshift through 3rd, 2nd and 1st on deceleration to stop. The lock-upmechanism comes into operation in @ position in 3rd and 4th gear.
Use for rapid acceleration at highway speeds and general driving; up-hill and down,hill dfiving; stansotf in 1st, shifts automatically to 2nd, then 3rd, depending on vehicle speed and throttle position.
Downshifts through 2nd to lst on deceleration to stop. The lock-up mechanism comes into operationin 3rd gear,
Use for engine braking or better traction starting off on loose or slippery surfaces; stays in 2ndgear, does not shift up and down.

Lock-up System
Lock-up Clutch
1. Ooeration (clutch onl
with the lock-up clutch on, the fluid in the chamber between the torque converter cover and the lock-up piston is drained
off, and the converter fluid exerts pressure through the piston against the torque converter cover, As a result, the conven-
er turbine is locked to the convefter cover. The effect is to bypass the converter, thereby placing the vehicle in direct drive

With the lock-up clutch off, the fluid flows in the reverse of "clutch on." As a result, the lock-up piston moves away from
the converter cover, and the torque converter lock-up is releassd.

Starting with a clutch plate, alternately install the
clutch plates and discs. Install the clutch end plate
with flat side toward the disc.
NOTE: Before installing the plates and discs, make
sure the inside of the clutch drum is free of din orother foreign mafter.

13. Measure the clearance between the clutch end plate
and top disc with a dial indicator' Zero the dial indi-
cator with the clutch end plate lowered and lift it up
to the snap ring. The distance that the clutch end
plate moves is the clearance between the clutch end
plate and top disc.
NOTE| Take measurements in at least three places,
and use the average as the actual clearance.
