NOTE:
. Since each tire/wheel assembly weighs approximately 30 lbs (14 kg)' placing the front wheels in the luggage area can
assist with the weight distribution
. Use the same support points to suppon the vehicle on safety stands'
Place the lift blocks as shown.
Raise the hoist a lew inches (centrmeters) and rock the vehicle to be sure it is firmly supported'
Raise the hoist to full height, and inspect lift points for solid support

Towing
lf the vehicle needs to be towed, call a professional tow-
ing service. Never tow the vehicle behind another vehi
cle with iust a rope or chain lt is very dangerous'
Emergency Towing
There are three popular methods of towing a vehicle:
Flat-bed Equipment - The operator loads the vehicle on
the back of a truck. This is the best way of transporting the
vehicle.
Wheel Lift Equipment - The tow truck uses t\ivo pivoting
arms that go under the tires {front or rear} and lifts them
off the ground. The other two wheels remain on the
ground.
Sling-type Equipment - The tow truck uses metal cables
with hooks on the ends. These hooks go around parts of
the frame or suspension, and the cables lift that end of
the vehicle off the ground The vehicle's suspension and
body can be seriously damaged if this method of towing
is attemDted.
lf the vehicle cannot be transported by flat-bed. it should
be towed with the front wheels off the ground lf due to
damage, the vehicle must be towed with the front
wheels on the ground, do the following:
lvlanual Transmission and CW
. Release the parking brake
. Shift the transmission to neutral (CW to E position)'
Automatic Transmission
. Release the Parking brake.
. Sta rt the engine.
. Shift to LDll position, then E position.
. Turn oif the engine
CAUTION;
o lmploper towing preparation will damage ihe tfans-
mission. Follow the above procedute exaqtly lf you
cannot shift the tlansmission or start the engino
laulomatic transmissionl, yout vehicle must be trans-
ported on a flat-bed.
. lt is best to tow the vehicle no farther than 50 mil€s
(80 km), and ksop thE speed below 35 mph (55 km/hl
. Trying to lift 01 tow your vehicle by tho bump€F will
caus€ setious damagg. Ths bumpers are not dEigned
to supportthe vshicle's weigh.

Description
The automatic transmission is a 3-element torque converter and a dual-shaft electronically controlled unit which provides
4 soeeds forward and 1 reverse.
Torque Convertel, Geats, and Clutches
The torque converter consists of a pump, turbine and stator, assembled in a single unit. They are connected to the engine
crankshaft so they turn together as a unit as the engine turns. Around the outside of the torque converter is a ring gear
which meshes with the starter pinion when the engine is being started. The entire torque converter assembly seryes as a
flywheel while transmiuing power to the transmission mainshaft.
The transmission has two parallel shafts: the mainshaft and the countershaft. The mainshaft is in Iine with the engine
crankshaft. The mainshaft includes the 1st, 2nd and 4th clutches, gears tor 2nd, 4th, reverse and lst (3rd gear is integral
with the mainshaft, while the reverse gear is integral with the 4th gear). The countershaft includes the 3rd clutch, and
gears for 3rd,2nd, 4th, reverse. 1st and park. The gears on the mainshaft are in constant mesh with those on the counter-
shaft. When certain combinations of gears in transmission are engaged by clutches. power is transmitted from the main-
shaft to the countershaft to provide E, ld, E, and E positions.
Electronic Control
The electronic control svstem consists of the Powertrain Control Module {PCM), sensors, a linear solenoid and four
solenojd valves. Shifting and lock-up are electronically controlled for comtonable driving under all conditions. The PCM is
located below the dashboard, under the front lower panel on the passenger's side
Hydraulic Control
The valve bodies include the main vatve body, the secondary valve body, the regulator valve body, the servo body and the
lock-up valve body through the respective separator plates, They are bolted on the torque converter housang
The main valve body contains the manual valve, the 1-2 shift valve. the 2nd orifice control valve, the CPB {Clutch Pressure
Back-up) valve, the modulator valve. the servo control valve, the relief valve, and ATF pump gears The secondary valve
body contains the 2-3 shift valve. the 3-4 shift valve, the 3-4 orifice control valve, the 4th exhaust valve and the CPC (Clutch
pressure Control) valve. The regulator valve body contains the pressure regulator valve, the torque converter check valve,
the cooler relief valve, and the lock-up control valve. The servo body contains the servo valve which is integrated with the
reverse shift fork, and the accumulators. The lock-up valve body contains the lock-up shift valve and the lock-up timing
valve. The linear solenoid and the shift control solenoid valve Ay'B are bolted on the outside of the transmission housing,
and the lock-up control solenoid valve Ay'B is bolted on the outside of the torque converter housing. Fluid from regulator
passes through the manual valve to the various control valves. The clutches receive fluid from their respective teed pipes
or internal hydraulic circuit.
Shift Control Mechanism
Input from various sensors located throughout the car determines which shift control solenoid valve the PCM will activate
Activating a shift control solenoid valve changes modulator pressure, causing a shift valve to move. This pressurizes a line
to one of the clutches, engaging that clutch and its corresponding gear, The shift control solenoid valves A and B are con-
trolled by the PCM.
Lock-up Mechanism
In ,Dt1 position, in 3rd and 4th. and in E position in 3rd, pressurized fluid is drained from the back of the torque converter
through a fluid passage, causing the lock-up piston to be held against the torque converter cover. As this takes place, the
mainshaft rotates at the same as the engine crankshaft. Together with hydraulic control, the PCM optimizes the timing of
the lock-up mechanism. The lock-up valves control the range of lock-up according to lock-up control solenoid valves A and
B, and linear solenoid. When lock-up control solenoid valves A and B activate, the modulator pressure changes The lock-
up control solenoid valves A and B and the linear solenoid are controlled by the PCM.
