Fluid level
LEVEL CHECK AT NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE
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 till engine coolant
temperature meter indicated around 1 unit above “C” point.
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 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 up to
FULL HOT.
Fluid specification :
An equivalent of DEXRON
®-III
[A] : Shift the select lever with its button pushed in.
[B] : Shift the select lever without pushing its button.
NOTE:
DO NOT RACE ENGINE while checking fluid level, even
after the engine start.
DO NOT OVERFILL. Overfilling can causes foaming
and loss of fluid through breather. Then slippage and
transmission failure can result.
Bringing the level from LOW HOT to FULL HOT
requires 0.3 liters (0.64/0.53 US/lmp.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.

A/T Throttle Cable
ADJUSTMENT
1) Pull inner cable (3) by force of 2 N (0.2 kg, 0.45 lb) or less to
be no slack of inner cable with A/T throttle cable (1) curved
as shown in the figure.
2) Fix stopper (2) to inner cable (3) with clearance “c”.
A/T throttle cable adjusting position (clearance “c”) :
0.8 – 1.5 mm (0.03 – 0.06 in.)
3) Warm up engine and transmission to normal operating tem-
perature.
4) Make sure that accelerator cable is adjusted as specified.
5) With throttle valve closed, check clearance “c”, which should
be within the following specification, of A/T throttle cable (1).
If it is out of specification, adjust it by turning cable adjusting
nut (2).
A/T throttle cable adjusting position (clearance “c”) :
0.8 – 1.5 mm (0.03 – 0.06 in.)
6) Tighten lock nut (3) securely.
Solenoid Valves (Shift Solenoid Valves and
TCC Solenoid Valve)
INSPECTION
With PCM couplers disconnected and using service wire as
shown in the figure, check each solenoid valve for clicking sound.
Shift solenoid valve - A (#1) C51-1-2
Shift solenoid valve - B (#2) C51-1-1
TCC (Lock-up) solenoid valve C51-1-8

MANUAL SELECTOR ASSEMBLY
REMOVAL
1) Disconnect negative (–) cable at battery.
2) Remove console box.
3) Disconnect connector for illumination lamp, shift lock sole-
noid (if equipped) and overdrive OFF switch (if equipped).
4) Remove selector assembly mounting bolts.
5) Disconnect selector cable (1) from manual selector assem-
bly (2) expanding selector cable clip (3).
INSTALLATION
Reverse removal procedure to install manual selector assembly
noting the following instructions.
•Make sure that selector cable clip (3) hold selector cable (1)
on manual selector assembly (2) securely.
•Tighten manual selector assembly mounting bolts as speci-
fied torque.
Tightening Torque
Manual selector assembly mounting bolts :
18 N·m (1.8 kg-m, 13.5 lb-ft)
•Connect interlock cable end to cam referring to step 2) to 8)
of “Interlock cable installation” of the service manual men-
tioned in FOREWORD of this manual, if necessary.
•Confirm that brake (key) interlock system operates properly
(if equipped).

DISASSEMBLY
1) Measure clearance between retaining ring (1) and brake
backing plate (2) with thickness gauge.
If it is not within standard range, replace brake disc or brake
plate.
Clearance between retaining ring and brake backing plate
Standard :
0.40 – 0.90 mm (0.016 – 0.035 in.)
2) Remove retaining ring (1), brake backing plate (2), brake
disc (3), brake plate (4), cushion brake plate (5) in that order.
Then remove planetary ring gear, thrust bearing race and
thrust rear bearing.
3) Remove retaining ring (1), retainer (2) and piston return
spring (3). NOTE:
The service procedure to be described in this item is the same as that of H25 engine model except the
following description.
