8. Install the pinion shaft so as to align the lock pin
holes on the pinion shaft and differential case.
9. Measure the side gear backlash while holding 1
pinion gear toward the case.
S Standard backlash:
0.05 0.20 mm (0.0020–0.0079 in.)
If the backlash is out of specification, install the
correct thrust washer to the side gear.
10. Referring to the table below, select thrust washers
which will ensure that the backlash is within the
specification.
Try to select washers of the same size for both
sides.
Thrust washer thickness : mm (in.)

If the backlash is not within the specification,
install a thrust washer of a different thickness.
11. Using a hammer and punch, drive in the pin
through the case and hole in the pinion shaft.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AND SYSTEM OPERATION
TRANSAXLE DESCRIPTION
The new automatic transmission is an electronically con-
trolled 4–speed automatic transmission with Lock–up
mechanism.
The transmission is mainly composed of the torque con-
verter with lock up clutch, newly developed 4–speed plan-
etary gear unit, the hydraulic control system and the elec-
tric control system.
ELECTRONICAL COMPONENTS
Transmission Control Module (TCM)
The TCM primarily controls shift points and lockup en-
gagement. It is located on the driver side under the instru-
ment panel.
The transmission is controlled by an electronic shift sys-
tem. The Transmission Control Module (TCM) processes
input signals. From the information received, the TCM
controls the transmission hydraulic system.
The electronic shift system consists of the following :
S Transmission control module (TCM)
S Shift solenoids (SS1 and SS2)
S Pressure control solenoid (PCS)
S Lockup solenoid
S Input shaft speed (ISS) sensor
S Output shaft speed (OSS) sensor
S Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) sensor
S Transmission Range (TR) Switch
Transmission Range (TR) Switch
Transmission Range (TR) Switch transmits the informa-
tion which range includes shift lever of A/T to Starter and
TCM.
S It is possible for TR switch to start an engine in only
”P” and ”N”. (Prevention of reckless driving)
S TR switch makes backup lamp turn on when re-
versing.
S It is used for TR switch to shift control.
TR switch transmits the information by combination of
starter and reverse circuit to vehicle side directly without
TCM.
Shift Solenoid No 1,2 (SS1, SS2)
2 shift solenoids are installed directly in the valve body.
The solenoids operate of ON and OFF by the control sig-
nal from TCM. Combinations of 2 solenoids, SS1 and SS2
changes gear ranges.

Timing Solenoid
Timing solenoid is installed directly in the valve body. The
solenoid operates of ON/OFF by the control signal from
TCM. The solenoid change timing valve of inside the valve
body, operate hydraulic control with apply and drain of for-
ward clutch.
Lock–Up Solenoid
Lock–up solenoid is installed in the valve body. It recieves
control signal from TCM.
Lock–up solenoid operates the lock–up valve inside the
valve body and controls the torque converter lockup func-
tion.
Pressure Control Solenoid (PCS)
The pressure control solenoid (PCS) is located inside the
valve body and regulates the transmission’s fluid pressure
system. It is internally grounded in the TCM and operates
when it is supplied with battery voltage from the TCM,
through the PCS and back to the TCM.
The battery voltage is controlled by a varying current from
the TCM.
The strength of the current is a function of the throttle posi-
tion.
Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT)
Sensor
TFT sensor provides TCM with information on the trans-
mission fluid temperature.
The TCM uses information from the TFT sensor to calcu-
late the gear shift points and to engage the torque convert-
er lockup function.
Input Shaft Speed (ISS) Sensor
ISS sensor is located on the upper position of the transaxle
and detects A/T input speed from the rotation number of
the direct clutch drum.
They transmit to TCM as a signal.

C1Forward ClutchConnects input shaft and front sun gear.
C2Direct ClutchConnects input shaft and planetary carrier.
C3Reverse ClutchConnects input shaft and rear sun gear.
B1O/D & 2nd BrakePrevents rear planetary sun gear from turning either clockwise
or counterclockwise.
B22nd BrakePrevents outer race of F1 from turning either clockwise or coun-
terclockwise, thus preventing the rear sun gear turning conter-
clockwise.
B31st & Reverse BrakePrevents planetary carrier from turning either clockwise or
counterclockwise.
F1No.1 One–way ClutchWhen B2 is operating, this clutch prevents rear sun gear from
counterclockwise.
F2No.2 One–way ClutchPrevents planetary carrier from turning counterclockwise.
Planetary GearThese gears change the route through which driving froce is
transmitted, in accordance with the operation of each clutch
and brake, in order to increase or reduce the input and output
speed.
