GENERAL REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
1. Use fender, seat and floor covers to keep the vehicle
clean and prevent damage.
2. During disassembly, keep parts in the appropriate order
to facilitate reassembly.
3. Observe the following:
(a) Before performing electrical work, disconnect the
negative (±) terminal cable from the battery.
(b) If it is necessary to disconnect the battery for inspec-
tion or repair, always disconnect the cable from the
negative (±) terminal which is grounded to the ve-
hicle body.
(c) To prevent damage to the battery terminal post, loos-
en the terminal nut and raise the cable straight up
without twisting or prying it.
(d) Clean the battery terminal posts and cable terminals
with a clean shop rag. Do not scrape them with a file
or other abrasive objects.
(e) Install the cable terminal to the battery post with the
nut loose, and tighten the nut after installation. Do
not use a hammer to tap the terminal onto the post.
(f) Be sure the cover for the positive (+) terminal is prop-
erly in place.
4. Check hose and wiring connectors to make sure that they
are secure and correct.
5. Non±reusable parts
(a) Always replace cotter pins, gaskets, O±rings and oil
seals etc. with new ones.
(b) Non±reusable parts are indicated in the component
illustrations by the ºº symbol.
6. Precoated parts
Precoated parts are bolts and nuts, etc. that are coated
with a seal lock adhesive at the factory.
(a) If a precoated part is retightened, loosened or
caused to move in any way, it must be recoated with
the specified adhesive.
(b) When reusing precoated parts, clean off the old
adhesive and dry with compressed air. Then applyIN022±07

GENERAL NOTES
The instructions here are organized so that you work on only one component group at a time.
This will help avoid confusion from similar±looking parts of different subassemblies being on your work-
bench at the same time.
The component groups are inspected and repaired from the converter housing side.
As much as possible, complete the inspection, repair and assembly before proceeding to the next compo-
nent group. If a component group cannot be assembled because parts are being ordered, be sure to keep
all parts of that group in a separate container while proceeding with disassembly, inspection, repair and
assembly of other component groups.
Recommended fluid for the automatic transaxle: ATF D±@@@@@: [g 2] or DEXRON®@@@@@: [g
3](DEXRON®@@@@@: [g 2])
1. GENERAL CLEANING NOTES:
(a) All disassembled parts should be washed clean and any fluid passages and holes blown through with
compressed air.
(b) When using compressed air to dry parts, always aim away from yourself to prevent accidentally spray-
ing automatic transaxle fluid or kerosene in your face.
(c) The recommended automatic transaxle fluid or kerosene should be used for cleaning.
2. PARTS ARRANGEMENT:
(a) After cleaning, the parts should be arranged in the correct order to allow efficient inspection, repairs,
and reassembly.
(b) When disassembling a valve body, be sure to keep each valve together with the corresponding spring.
(c) New brakes and clutches that are to be used for replacement must be soaked in transaxle fluid for at
least fifteen minutes before assembly.
3. GENERAL ASSEMBLY:
(a) All oil seal rings, clutch discs, clutch plates, rotating parts, and sliding surfaces should be coated with
transmission fluid prior to reassembly.
(b) All gaskets and rubber O±rings should be replaced.
(c) Make sure that the ends of a snap ring are not aligned with one of the cutouts and are installed in the
groove correctly.
(d) If a worn bushing is to be replaced, the subassembly containing that bushing must be replaced.
(e) Check thrust bearings and races for wear or damage. Replace if necessary.
(f) Use petroleum jelly to keep parts in place.

HINT: Keep the gears in assembly order.
4. REMOVE FRONT OIL SEAL
Pry off the oil seal with a screwdriver.
OIL PUMP BUSHING INSPECTION
1. CHECK BODY CLEARANCE OF DRIVEN GEAR
Push the driven gear to one side of the body.
Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance.
Standard body clearance:
0.07±0.15 mm (0.0028±0.0059 in.)
Maximum body clearance:
0.30 mm (0.0118 in.)
If the body clearance is greater than the maximum, re-
place the oil pump body subassembly.
2. CHECK TIP CLEARANCE OF DRIVEN GEAR
Measure between the driven gear teeth and the cres-
cent±shaped part of the pump body.
Standard tip clearance:
0.11±0.14 mm (0.0043±0.0055 in.)
Maximum tip clearance:
0.30 mm (0.0118 in.)
If the tip clearance is greater than the maximum, replace
the oil pump body subassembly.

3. CHECK SIDE CLEARANCE OF BOTH GEARS
Using a steel straightedge and feeler gauge, measure the
side clearance of both gears.
Standard side clearance:
0.002±0.005 mm (0.0008±0.0020 in.)
Maximum side clearance:
0.100 mm (0.0039 in.)
There are 3 different thicknesses for drive and driven
gears.
Drive and driven gear thickness
MarkThickness mm (in.)
A9.440±9.456 (0.3717±0.3723)
B9.456±9.474 (0.3723±0.3730)
C9.474±9.490 (0.3730±0.3736)
If the thickest gear can not make the side clearance within
standard specification, replace the oil pump body subas-
sembly.
4. CHECK OIL PUMP BODY BUSHING
Using a dial indicator, measure the inside diameter of the
oil pump body bushing.
Maximum inside diameter:
38.18 mm (1.5031 in.)
If the inside diameter is greater than the maximum, re-
place the oil pump body subassembly.
5. CHECK STATOR SHAFT BUSHING
Using a dial indicator, measure the inside diameter stator
shaft bushing.
Maximum inside diameter:
21.57 mm (0.8492 in.)
If the inside diameter is greater than the maximum, re-
place the stator shaft.
OIL PUMP ASSEMBLY
1. INSTALL FRONT OIL SEAL
Using SST and a hammer, install a new oil seal. The seal
end should be flush with the outer edge of the pump body.

2. INSTALL DRIVEN GEAR AND DRIVE GEAR
Make sure the top of the gears are facing upward.
3. INSTALL STATOR SHAFT TO PUMP BODY
(a) Align the stator shaft with each bolt hole.
(b) Torque the 11 bolts.
Torque: 10 N´m (100 kgf´cm, 7 ft´lbf)
4. INSTALL THRUST WASHER
(a) Coat the thrust washer with petroleum jelly.
(b) Align the tab of the washer with the hollow of the pump
body.
5. INSTALL OIL SEAL RINGS
Install the 2 oil seal rings to the stator shaft back side.
NOTICE: Do not spread the ring ends more than necessary.
HINT: After installing the oil seal rings, check that they
move smoothly.
6. CHECK PUMP DRIVE GEAR ROTATION
Turn the drive gear with 2 screwdrivers and make sure it
rotates smoothly.
NOTICE: Be careful not to damage the oil seal lip.
