FLUID LEVEL AT NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERA-
TURE
INSPECTION
1) Stop vehicle and place it level.
2) Apply parking brake and place chocks against wheels.
3) With selector at P position, start engine.
4) Warm up engine till fluid temperature reaches normal oper-
ating temperature (70 – 80°C/158 – 176°F). As a guide to
check fluid temperature, warm up engine to normal operat-
ing temperature.
5) Keep engine idling and shift selector slowly to L and back to
P position.
6) With engine idling, pull out dipstick, wipe it off with a clean
cloth and put it back into place.
7) Pull out dipstick (1) again and check fluid level indicated on
it. Fluid level should be between FULL HOT and LOW HOT.
If it is below LOW HOT, add an equivalent of DEXRON
®-III
or DEXRON
®-IIE up to FULL HOT.
A/T fluid specification
: An equivalent of DEXRON
®-III or DEXRON®-IIE
NOTE:
 DO NOT RACE ENGINE while checking fluid level, even
after the engine start.
 DO NOT OVERFILL. Overfilling can cause foaming and
loss of fluid through breather. Then slippage and
transmission failure can result.
 Bringing the level from LOW HOT to FULL HOT
requires 0.35 liters (0.74/0.62 US/Imp. pt).
 If vehicle was driven under high load such as pulling a
trailer, fluid level should be checked about half an hour
after it is stopped.

FLUID LEVEL AT ROOM TEMPERATURE
INSPECTION
The fluid level check at room temperature performed after repair
or fluid change before test driving is just preparation for level
check of normal operation temperature. The checking procedure
itself is the same as that described previously. If the fluid level is
between FULL COLD and LOW COLD, proceed to test drive. And
when the fluid temperature has reached the normal operating
temperature, check fluid again and adjust it as necessary.
FLUID CHANGE
1) Lift up vehicle.
2) When engine has cooled down, remove drain plug (1) from
oil pan and drain A/T fluid.
3) Install drain plug.

INSPECTION
Clutch and Brake Discs
Dry and inspect them for pitting, burn flaking, wear, glazing,
cracking, charring and chips or metal particles imbedded in lining.
If discs show any of the above conditions, replacement is
required.
Clutch and Brake Plates and Flanges
Dry plates and check for discoloration. If plate surface is smooth
and even color smear is indicated, the plate should be reused. If
severe heat spot discoloration or surface scuffing is indicated, the
plate must be replaced.
1st & 2nd Brake Piston Return Spring Subassembly
Measure height of 1st & 2nd brake piston return spring.
Height of 1st & 2nd brake piston return spring
20.81 mm (0.819 in.)
Evidence of extreme heat or burning in the area of clutch may
have caused springs to take a heat set and would require their
replacement.NOTE:
 If disc lining is exfoliated or discolored, replace all
discs.
 Before assembling new discs, soak them in A/T fluid
for at least two hours.
NOTE:
 Do not apply excessive force when measuring spring
height.
 Perform measurement at several points.

DISASSEMBLY/ASSEMBLY OF SUBASSEMBLY
OIL PUMP
CAUTION:
 Keep component parts in group for each subassembly and avoid mixing them up.
 Clean all parts with cleaning solvent thoroughly and air dry them.
 Use kerosene or automatic transmission fluid as cleaning solvent.
 Do not use wiping cloths or rags to clean or dry parts.
 All oil passages should be blown out and checked to make sure that they are not obstructed.
 Keep face and eyes away from solvent spray while air blowing parts.
 Check mating surface for irregularities and remove them, if any, and clean it again.
 Soak new clutch discs and brake discs in transmission fluid for at least 2 hours before assembly.
 Replace all gaskets and O-rings with new ones.
 Apply automatic transmission fluid to all O-rings.
 When installing seal ring, be careful so that it is not expanded excessively, extruded or caught.
 Replace oil seals that are removed and apply grease to their lips.
 Before installing, be sure to apply automatic transmission fluid to sliding, rolling and thrusting sur-
face of all component part. Also after installation, make sure to check each part for proper opera-
tion.
 Always use torque wrench when tightening bolts.
