4E2 – 12IREAR DRUM BRAKES
DAEWOO V–121 BL4
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AND SYSTEM OPERATION
DRUM BRAKES
This drum brake assembly is a leading/trailing shoe de-
sign. Both brake shoes are held against the wheel cylinder
pistons by the lower return spring and the fixed anchor
plate near the lower return spring. When the brakes are
applied, the wheel cylinder pistons move both shoes out
to contact the drum. With forward wheel rotation, the for-
ward brake shoe will wrap into the drum and become self–
energized. With reverse wheel rotation, the rear brake
shoe is self–energized. Force from the brake shoes is
transferred to the anchor plate through the backing plate
to the axle flange. Adjustment is automatic and occurs on
any service brake application. Do not switch the positionof shoes that have been in service, as this may render the
self–adjustment feature inoperative and result in in-
creased pedal travel.
Notice : To avoid damaging the vehicle, observe the fol-
lowing directions:
S Replace all the components included in the repair
kits used to service this drum brake.
S Do not use lubricated shop air on the brake parts,
as damage to the rubber components may result.
S If any hydraulic component is removed or discon-
nected, it may be necessary to bleed all or part of
the braking system.
S Replace the shoe and linings in axle sets only.
S The torque values specified are for dry, unlubri-
cated fasteners.
S Perform service operations on a clean bench that is
free from all mineral oil materials.

INTRODUCTION
ZF 4HP 16 AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE
The ZF 4 HP 16 is a four–speed automatic transaxle de-
signed for cars with front–wheel drive and a transversely
mounted engine.
The transaxle has a hydrodynamic torque converter with
a controlled slip lock–up clutch.
A planetary gear train establishes the mechanical gear ra-
tios. The integral constant ratio can be adapted to the en-
gine’s power output and the vehicle’s weight. The elec-
tronic–hydraulic control makes controlled power shifts and
various shift programs possible. In selector lever position
”P”, the output is locked mechanically.The special feature of this transaxle is that it operates with-
out freewheels. Shifting between individual gears takes
place by means of overlapping clutch engagement and re-
lease.
The advantage of overlap shifting is as follows:
– The transaxle can be of more compact design
and is lighter on account of the absence of free-
wheels and the lower number of shift elements
– Lower drag losses, i.e. higher efficiency
– Lower peak torques acting on the components
and driveline.
However, overlap shifting necessitates high–performance
hardware and software, and precision engine signals.

Functional Check Procedure
Inspect
1. Install a tachometer or scan tool.
2. Operate the vehicle unit proper operating tempera-
ture is reached.
3. Drive the vehicle at 80 to 88km/h (50 to 55 mph)
with light throttle(road load).
4. Maintaining throttle position, lightly touch the brake
pedal and check for release of the TCC and a slight
increase in engine speed(rpm).
5. Release the brake slowly accelerate and check for
a reapply of the Lock up clutch and a slight de-
crease in engine speed(rpm).
Torque Converter Evaluation
Torque Converter Stator
The torque converter stator roller clutch can have one of
two different type malfunctions :
A. Stator assembly freewheels in both directions.
B. Stator assembly remains Locked up at all times.
Condition A – Poor Acceleration Low
Speed
The car tends to have poor acceleration from a stand still.
At speeds above 50 to 55km/h(30 to 35mph), the car may
act normal. If poor acceleration is noted, it should first be
determined that the exhaust system is not blocked, and
the transaxle is in 1st(First) gear when starting out.
If the engine freely accelerates to high rpm in N(Neutral),
it can be assumed that the engine and exhaust system are
normal. Checking for poor performance in ”Drive” and ”Re-
verse” will help determine if the stator is freewheeling at all
times.
Condition B – Poor Acceleration High
Speed
Engine rpm and car speed limited or restricted at high
speeds. Performance when accelerating from a standstill
is normal. Engine may overheat. Visual examination of the
converter may reveal a blue color from overheating.
If the converter has been removed, the stator roller clutch
can be checked by inserting two fingers into the splined in-
ner race of the roller clutch and trying to turn freely clock-
wise, but not turn or be very difficult to turn counter clock-
wise.
Noise
Torque converter whine is usually noticed when the ve-
hicle is stopped and the transaxle is in ”Drive” or ”Re-
verse”. The noise will increase when engine rpm is in-
creased. The noise will stop when the vehicle is moving or
when the torque converter clutch is applied because both
halves of the converter are turning at the same speed.
Perform a stall test to make sure the noise is actually com-
ing from the converter :1. Place foot on brake.
2. Put gear selector in ”Drive”.
3. Depress accelerator to approximately 1200rpm for
no more than six seconds.
Notice : If the accelerator is depressed for more than six
seconds, damage to the transaxle may occur.
A torque converter noise will increase under this load.
Important : This noise should not be confused with pump
whine noise which is usually noticeable in P (Park), N
(Neutral) and all other gear ranges. Pump whine will vary
with pressure ranges.
The torque converter should be replaced under any of the
following conditions:
S External leaks in the hub weld area.
S Converter hub is scored or damaged.
S Converter pilot is broken, damaged or fits poorly
into crankshaft.
S Steel particles are found after flushing the cooler
and cooler lines.
S Pump is damaged or steel particles are found in the
converter.
S Vehicle has TCC shudder and/or no TCC apply.
Replace only after all hydraulic and electrical diag-
noses have been made.(Lock up clutch material
may be glazed.)
S Converter has an imbalance which cannot be cor–
rected. (Refer To Converter Vibration Test Proce-
dure.)
S Converter is contaminated with engine coolant con-
taining antifreeze.
S Internal failure of stator roller clutch.
S Excess end play.
S Heavy clutch debris due to overheating (blue con-
verter).
S Steel particles or clutch lining material found in fluid
filter or on magnet when no internal parts in unit are
worn or damaged(indicates that lining material
came from converter).
The torque converter should not be replace if :
S The oil has an odor, is discolored, and there is no
evidence of metal or clutch facing particles.
S The threads in one or more of the converter bolt
holes are damaged.
–correct with thread insert.
S Transaxle failure did not display evidence of dam-
age or worn internal parts, steel particles or clutch
plate lining material in unit and inside the fluid filter.
S Vehicle has been exposed to high mileage(only).
The exception may be where the Lock up clutch
damper plate lining has seen excess wear by ve-
hicles operated in heavy and/or constant traffic,
such as taxi, delivery or police use.
Lock–Up Clutch Shudder Diagnosis
The key to diagnosing lock–up clutch(TCC) shudder is to
note when it happens and under what conditions.
