SYMPTOM DIAGNOSIS
Oil Leakage
Notice :
– Careful localization of leakage points may make it
possible to prevent incorrect or cost–intensive re-
pairs.
Test Steps :– Thoroughly clean the transaxle, engine, and sur-
rounding area(using a steam jet, for example).
– To locate leakage, use a suitable identifying spray
or similar product.
– Depending on the amount of leakage, take the
car for a short or a longer test drive – It may prove
sufficient to place the car on a hoist and run the
engine at idle speed to trace the leak.
– If possible, determine exactly which type of oil is
escaping.

Notice : Comply with the measuring procedure (fill-
ing procedure) in the repair instruction. Check the oil
level at the overflow plug adjust to proper level if nec-
essary.

Noise
SymptomPossible CauseAction
NoiseTFT Level Too LowS When the TFT level is too low, the gear wheels
from the transaxle oil pump might generate
noise.
S Check the TFT level as described in the repair
instruction and fill to the proper level.
Monolith in Catalytic Converter Has
BrokenS Check according to the exhaust gas diagnostic
procedure or by shaking the catalytic converter
casing.
S Replace catalytic converter if necessary.
Noise from Auxiliaries (e.g. exhaust
system, alternator, drive shafts.)S Check these components; if necessary, elimi-
nate the faults as described in the repair in-
struction
Noise from Tires or Wheel BearingsS Eliminate fault if necessary
Noise from Planetary GearsS Whistling noise on traction and overrun(in first
gear only)caused by high rotating speeds(func-
tionally unavoidable)
Cumulative Tooth Backlash in the Com-
plete Drive LineS Production status. Customer must be con-
vinced.
Jerky Noise of the Parking Lock (e.g.
when the car is standing on a gradient)S Load–reversal reaction

FLUID LEVEL SET AFTER SERVICE
1. Add transaxle fluid through the fill cap hole prior to
adjusting the fluid level. The amount of fluid to add
should be based on the type of service done.
Adjustment Notice
S Use ESSO LT 71141 transaxle fluid only.
S Oil pan removed : 4L (4.2 qt)
S Torque converter removed : 2L (2.1 qt)
S Complete overhaul : 6.7L (7.1qt)
S Drain plug removed : 4L (4.2 qt)
2. Check the transaxle fluid level. Refer to ”Transaxle
Fluid Level Checking Procedure” in this section.
3. Add additional fluid through the fill cap hole in 0.5
liter (0.5 quart) increments until the fluid comes out
through the plug hole.
4. Allow the fluid to finish draining out through the plug
hole, then install the fluid level plug.
5. When the fluid level setting procedure is completed,
wipe any fluid from the transaxle case with a rag or
shop towel. Also, check that the fluid fill cap and the
vent tube are properly installed.
REPAIRING FLUID LEAKS
Locating Leaks
General Method
1. Verify that the leak is transaxle fluid.
2. Thoroughly clean the suspected leak area.
3. Operate the vehicle for about 25 kilometers (15
miles) or until the transaxle reaches normal operat-
ing temperature, 88°C (190°F).
4. Park the vehicle over clean paper or cardboard.
5. Turn the engine off and look for fluid spots on the
paper.
6. Make the necessary repairs to correct the leak.
Powder Method
1. Thoroughly clean the suspected leak area.
2. Apply an aerosol–type powder (foot powder) to the
suspected leak area.
3. Operate the vehicle for about 25 kilometers (15
miles) or until the transaxle reaches normal operat-
ing temperature, 88°C (190°F).
4. Turn the engine off.
5. Inspect the suspected leak area and trace the leak
path through the powder to find the source of the
leak.
6. Make the necessary repairs.
