AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
DISASSEMBLY
Cleaning the automatic transmission
1. Use compressed steam and /or cleaning oil to thoroughly
clean the outside of the transmission before disassembly.
CAUTION:
Steam under high pressure may cause dirt particles
adhering to the transmission to fly through the air at great
speed. These particles can cause serious eye injury. Wear
protective goggles when steam-cleaning the outside of
the transmission.
2. During disassembly, clean the removed parts with cleaning
oil. Dry the parts with compressed air.
Use Compressed air to clean the transmission oil holes
and oil passages.
Automatic transmission disassembly cautions
Perform the disassembly procedure in a dust-free
environment to prevent the entry of foreign material into
the transmission.
Inspect each transmission part as you remove it.
Carefully check the oil pan and the magnet for foreign
material. This is a good way to estimate transmission
condition.
Use your bare hands or vinyl gloves to disassemble the
transmission. Do not use ordinary work gloves (loose
threads from the gloves may fall into the transmission and
cause problems).
Use a plastic hammer to loosen the transmission case
and other aluminum parts during disassembly. Strike
around the parts lightly with the hammer. Do not pry
aluminum parts away from each other with a screwdriver
or similar object.
Arrange the disassembled parts neatly in the order they
were removed. Cover the parts with a plastic sheet or
similar object to protect them from dust.
