COMPONENT PARTS
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 com-
ponent 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:
DEXRON ® @@@@@: [g 2]
GENERAL CLEANING NOTES:
1. All disassembled parts should be washed clean and any fluid passages and holes blown through with
compressed air.
2. When using compressed air to dry parts, always aim away from yourself to prevent accidentally spray-
ing automatic transmission fluid or kerosene in your face.
3. The recommended automatic transaxle fluid or kerosene should be used for cleaning.
PARTS ARRANGEMENT:
1. After cleaning, the parts should be arranged in the correct order to allow efficient inspection, repairs,
and reassembly.
2. When disassembling a valve body, be sure to keep each valve together with the corresponding spring.
3. New brakes and clutches that are to be used for replacement must be soaked in transaxle fluid for at
least 15 minutes before assembly.
GENERAL ASSEMBLY:
1. All oil seal rings, clutch discs, clutch plates, rotating parts, and sliding surfaces should be coated with
transmission fluid prior to reassembly.
2. All gaskets and rubber O±rings should be replaced.
3. Make sure that the ends of a snap ring are not aligned with one of the cutouts and are installed in the
groove correctly.
4. If a worn bushing is to be replaced, the subassembly containing that bushing must be replaced.
5. Check thrust bearings and races for wear or damage. Replace if necessary.
6. Use petroleum jelly to keep parts in place.

COMPONENT PARTS INSTALLATION
Disassembly, inspection and assembly of each component group have been indicated in the preceding
chapter. Before assembly, make sure, again, that all component groups are assembled correctly.
If something wrong is found in a certain component group during assembly, inspect and repair this
group immediately.
Recommended ATF:
DEXRON ® @@@@@: [g 2]
GENERAL INSTALLATION NOTES:
1. The automatic transaxle is composed of highly precision±finished parts, necessitating careful inspec-
tion before assembly because even a small nick could cause fluid leakage and affect performance.
2. Before assembling new clutch discs, soak them in automatic transaxle fluid for at least 15 minutes.
3. Apply automatic transaxle fluid on the sliding or rotating surfaces of parts before assembly.
4. Use petroleum jelly to keep small parts in their places.
5. Do not use adhesive cements on gaskets and similar parts.
6. When assembling the transaxle, be sure to use new gaskets and O±rings.
7. Dry all parts with compressed air±never use shop rags.
8. Be sure to install the thrust bearings and races in the correct direction and position.
