9. REMOVE AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE OIL PAN
SUB-ASSY
(a) Remove the 18 bolts, oil pan and gasket.
(b) Remove the 2 magnets from the oil pan.
10. INSPECT TRANSMISSION OIL CLEANER MAGNET

chips. Examine the chips and particles in the pan and on
the magnet to determine what type of wear has occurred
in the transaxle:
Steel (magnetic).... bearing, gear and plate wear
Brass (non-magnetic).... bushing wear
11. DISCONNECT TRANSMISSION WIRE
(a) Remove the 7 connectors from the shift solenoid valves.
(b) Remove the bolt, lock plate and ATF temperature sensor.
12. REMOVE TRANSMISSION WIRE
(a) Remove the bolt and transmission wire from the transaxle
case.

(b) Install the transmission wire retaining bolt.
Torque: 5.4 NVm (55 kgfVcm, 48 in.Vlbf)
148. CONNECT TRANSMISSION WIRE
(a) Coat a O-ring of the ATF temperature sensor with ATF.
(b) Install the ATF temperature sensor, with the lock plate and
bolt.
Torque: 6.6 NVm (67 kgfVcm, 58 in.Vlbf)
(c) Connect the 7 solenoid connectors.
NOTICE:
Connect the connector to A, B, C, D, E, F, G, from
shorter one.
Apply ATF to the bolt.
149. INSTALL TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY ASSY
(a) Make sure that the manual valve lever position, install the
valve body with 17 bolts to the transaxle case.
Torque: 11 NVm (110 kgfVcm, 8 ftVlbf)
Bolt length:
Bolt A: 41 mm (1.614 in.)
Bolt B: 57 mm (2.244 in.)
Bolt C: 25 mm (0.984 in.)
NOTICE:
Push the valve body against the accumulator piston
spring and the check ball body to install it.
When installing the valve body to the transaxle case,
do not hold the solenoids.
Tighten temporarily those bolts marked by in the il-
lustration first because they are positioning bolts.
150. INSTALL VALVE BODY OIL STRAINER ASSY
(a) Coat a new O-ring with ATF, install it to the oil strainer.
NOTICE:
Assemble the O-ring carefully not to have a twist and a
pinching. Moreover, apply enough ATF to the O-ring prior
to assembling.

AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE FLUID
ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. CHECK THE FLUID LEVEL
HINT:
Drive the vehicle so that the engine and transaxle are at normal
operating temperature.
Fluid temperature: 70 - 80 °C (158 - 176 °F)
(a) Park the vehicle on a level surface and set the parking
brake.
(b) With the engine idling and the brake pedal depressed,
shift the shift lever into all positions from P to L position,
and return to P position.
(c) take out the dipstick and wipe it clean.
(d) Put it back fully into the pipe.
(e) take it out and check that the fluid level is in the HOT posi-
tion.
If there are leaks, it is necessary to repair or replace O-rings,
FIPGs, oil seals, plugs and/or other parts.
