7. Check foreign materials in oil pan to help determine cause ofmalfunction. If the fluid is very dark, smells burned, or contains
foreign particles, the frictional material (clutches, band) may
need replacement. A tacky film that will not wipe clean indicates
varnish build up. Varnish can cause valves, servo, and clutches
to stick and may inhibit pump pressure.
I If frictional material is detected, replace radiator after
repair of A/T. Refer to LC section (ªRadiatorº, ªENGINE
COOLING SYSTEMº).
8. Remove torque converter clutch solenoid valve and A/T fluid temperature sensor connectors.
I Be careful not to damage connector.
9. Remove oil strainer.
a. Remove oil strainer from control valve assembly then remove O-ring from oil strainer.
b. Check oil strainer screen for damage.
10. Remove control valve assembly.
a. Straighten terminal clips to free terminal cords then remove terminal clips.

3. Separate differential case A and B. Draw out component parts (discs and plates, etc.)
Put marks on gears and pressure rings so that they can be
reinstalled in their original positions from which they were
removed.
Inspection
CONTACT SURFACES
1. Clean the disassembled parts in suitable solvent and blow dry with compressed air.
2. If following surfaces are found with burrs or scratches, smooth with oil stone.

DISC AND PLATE
1. Clean the discs and plates in suitable solvent and blow dry with
compressed air.
2. Inspect discs and plates for wear, nicks and burrs.
3. To make sure that friction disc or plate is not distorted, place it on a surface plate and rotate it by hand with indicating finger
of dial gauge resting against disc or plate surface. Check the
warpage.Allowable warpage: 0.05 - 0.15 mm (0.0020 - 0.0059 in)
If it exceeds limit, replace with a new plate to eliminate possi-
bility of clutch slippage or sticking.

Checking Brake Fluid Level
ICheck fluid level in reservoir tank. It should be between Max.
and Min. lines on reservoir tank.
I If fluid level is extremely low, check brake system for leaks.
I When brake warning lamp comes on even when parking brake
lever is released, check brake system for leaks.
Checking Brake Line
CAUTION:
If leakage occurs around joints, retighten or, if necessary,
replace damaged parts.
1. Check brake lines (tubes and hoses) for cracks, deterioration
or other damage. Replace any damaged parts.
2. Check for oil leakage by fully depressing brake pedal while engine is running.
Changing Brake Fluid
CAUTION:
IRefill with new brake fluid ªDOT 4º.
I Never reuse drained brake fluid.
I Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas; it
may cause paint damage. If brake fluid is splashed on
painted areas, wash it away with water immediately. DO
NOT RUB IT OFF.
1. Connect a vinyl tube to each air bleeder valve.
2. Drain brake fluid from each air bleeder valve by depressing brake pedal.
3. Refill until new brake fluid comes out of each air bleeder valve. Use same procedure as in bleeding hydraulic system to refill
brake fluid. Refer to ªBleeding Brake Systemº, ªBRAKE
HYDRAULIC LINEº, BR-8.
Brake Burnishing Procedure
Burnish the brake contact surfaces according to the following pro-
cedure after refinishing or replacing rotors or drums, after replac-
ing pads or linings, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage.
CAUTION:
Only perform this procedure under safe road and traffic con-
ditions. Use extreme caution.
1. Drive the vehicle on a straight smooth road at 50 km/h (31MPH).
2. Use medium brake pedal/foot to bring the vehicle to a com- plete stop from 50 km/h (31 MPH). Adjust brake pedal/foot
pressure such that vehicle stopping time equals 3 to 5
seconds.
3. To cool the brake system, drive the vehicle at 50 km/h (31 MPH) for 1 minute without stopping.
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 for 10 times or more to complete the burnishing procedure.
