IBefore assembly, apply a coat of recommended ATF to all parts. Apply petroleum jelly to protect O-rings
and seals, and to hold bearings and washers in place during assembly. Do not use grease.
I Extreme care should be taken to avoid damage to O-rings, seals and gaskets when assembling.
I After overhaul, refill the transmission with new ATF.
I When the A/T drain plug is removed, only some of the fluid is drained. Old A/T fluid will remain in torque
converter and ATF cooling system.
Always follow the procedures under ªChanging A/T Fluidº in the MA section when changing A/T fluid.
Service Notice or Precautions
FAIL-SAFE
The TCM has an electronic Fail-Safe (limp home mode). This allows the vehicle to be driven even if a major
electrical input/output device circuit is damaged.
Under Fail-Safe, the vehicle always runs in third gear even with a shift lever position of ª1º, ª2º or ªDº. Cus-
tomer may complain of ªsluggish or poor accelerationº.
When the Fail-Safe operation occurs the next time the key is turned to the ªONº position, the SPORT indica-
tor lamp will blink for about 8 seconds. (For diagnosis, refer to AT-33.)
Fail-Safe may activate without electrical circuit damages if the vehicle is driven under extreme conditions (such
as excessive wheel spins and emergency braking immediately afterwards). In this case, turn the ignition key
ªOFFº for 5 seconds and then ªONº to recover normal shift pattern.
The blinking of the SPORT indicator lamp for about 8 seconds will appear only once and be cleared. The cus-
tomer may resume normal driving conditions by chance.
Always follow the ªWORK FLOWº (Refer to AT-26).
The SELF-DIAGNOSIS results will be as follows:
The first SELF-DIAGNOSIS will indicate the damage of the vehicle speed sensor or the revolution sensor.
During the next SELF-DIAGNOSIS performed after checking the sensor, no damages will be indicated.

Preparation for Disassembly
CHECKING DIFFERENTIAL TORQUE
Measure differential torque with Tool.
If it is not within the specifications, inspect components of limited
slip differential.Differential torque:353 - 392 N×m (36 - 40 kg-m, 260 - 289 ft-lb)

Front Axle and Front Suspension Parts
ICheck front axle and front suspension parts for looseness,
cracks, wear or other damage.
(1) Shake each front wheel.
(2) Make sure that cotter pin is inserted.
(3) Retighten all nuts and bolts to the specified torque.
: Refer to ªFRONT SUSPENSIONº, FA-29.
(4) Check front axle and front suspension parts for wear, cracks or other damage.
I Check shock absorber for oil leakage or other damage.
I Check suspension ball joints for grease leakage and dust cov-
ers for cracks or other damage.
I Check ball joint for vertical end play.
Upper ball joint: 1.6 mm (0.063 in) or less
(1) Jack up front of vehicle and set the stands.
(2) Clamp dial indicator onto transverse link and place indicator tip on lower edge of brake caliper.
(3) Make sure front wheels are straight and brake pedal is depressed.
(4) Place a pry bar between transverse link and inner rim of road wheel.
(5) While pushing and releasing pry bar, observe maximum dial indicator value.
(6) If ball joint movement is beyond specifications, remove and recheck it.
