NOTE: If it takes some amount of time until the transmission
fluid reaches its normal operating temperature [70
80C
(158
176F)], check the transmission fluid level by refer-
ring to the left diagram.
2. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
3. Move the selector lever through all positions to fill the torque
converter and the hydraulic circuits with fluid, and then move
the selector lever to the "N" position.
4. After wiping off any dirt around the dipstick, remove the
dipstick and check the condition of the transmission fluid.
NOTE: If the transmission fluid smells as if it is burnt, it
means that the transmission fluid has been contaminated by
fine particles from the bushings and friction materials. Tran-
saxle overhaul and cooler line flushing may be necessary.
5. Check transmission fluid level is at the "HOT" mark on the
dipstick. If the transmission fluid level is less than this, add
DIAMOND ATF SP III until the level reaches the "HOT"
mark.
NOTE: If the transmission fluid level is too low, the oil pump
will draw in air along with the transmission fluid, which will
cause to form bubbles. If the transmission fluid level is too
high, rotating components inside the transaxle will churn the
fluid and air into a foamy liquid. Both conditions (level too
low or too high) will cause the hydraulic pressure to drop,
which will result in late shifting and slipping of the clutches
and brakes.
NOTE: In either case, air bubbles can interfere with normal
valve, clutch, and brake operation. Also, foaming can cause
transmission fluid to escape from the transaxle vent where it
may be mistaken for a leak.

6. Securely insert the dipstick.
NOTE: The transmission fluid should always be replaced
under the following conditions:
.
When troubleshooting the transaxle.
When overhauling the transaxle.
When the transmission fluid is noticeably dirty or burnt
(driving under severe conditions).

12. ENGINE COOLANT (CHANGE)M1001003100357
Check the cooling system parts such as the radiator, heater
and oil cooler hoses, thermostat and their connections for leak-
age and damage.
.
CHANGING COOLANT
1. Set the temperature control knob to the "HOT" position.
2. Run the engine until the engine coolant warms, and then
stop the engine.
When removing the radiator cap, use care to avoid
contact with hot coolant or steam. Place a shop towel
over the cap and turn the cap counterclockwise a lit-
tle to let the pressure escape through the vinyl tube.
After relieving the steam pressure, remove the cap by
slowly turning it counterclockwise.
3. Drain the water from the radiator, heater core and engine
after unplugging the radiator drain plug and removing the
radiator cap.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FRONT AXLE26-2
GENERAL DESCRIPTIONM1261000100370
The front axle consists of front hubs, knuckles, wheel
bearings and drive shafts, and has the following fea-
tures:
The wheel bearing incorporates double-row
angular contact ball bearing for reduced friction.
The front wheel hub assembly combines the hub,
wheel bearing, and oil seal in a single unit for
fewer parts, better durability, improved assembly
precision, and better structural organization.
The driveshaft incorporates BJ-PTJ type constant
velocity joints with high transmission efficiency for
low vibration and noise.
Due to the use of the inner shaft and bracket
assembly, the right and left drive shafts are
approximately the same in length. This reduces
noise, vibration and torque steer.L-RH>
The dynamic damper is mounted on the LH drive-
shaft.
ABS rotor for detecting the wheel speed is
press-fitted to the BJ.

PTJ: Pillow Tripod Joint
BJ: Birfield Joint

TROUBLESHOOTING STRATEGYM1261005600240
Use these steps to plan your diagnostic strategy. If
you follow them carefully, you will be sure that you
have exhausted most of the possible ways to find a front axle fault.
1. Gather information from the customer.

1. Use special tools MB990242, MB990244, MB991354 and
MB990767 to push out the drive shaft or the drive shaft and
inner shaft assembly from the hub.
2. Remove the drive shaft from the hub by pulling the bottom of
the brake disc towards you.
Do not pull on the drive shaft; doing so will damage the
PTJ; be sure to use the pry bar.
When pulling the drive shaft out from the transaxle, be
careful that the spline part of the drive shaft does not
damage the oil seal.
3. Insert a pry bar between the transaxle case and the drive
shaft, and then pry and remove the drive shaft from the
transaxle.
NOTE: Insert a pry bar, taking care not to damage the pro-
trusion of transaxle case when removing the drive shaft LH.
