1. Remove the caliper assembly, and suspend the caliper
assembly with a wire and remove the brake disc.
2. Check the bearing's end play. Place a dial gauge against the
hub surface; then move the hub in the axial direction and
check whether or not there is end play.
Limit: 0.05 mm (0.002 inch)
3. If the play exceeds the limit, replace the rear hub assembly.

1. Remove the caliper assembly, and suspend the caliper
assembly with a wire and remove the brake disc.
2. Turn the hub a few times to seat the bearing.
3. Wind a rope around the hub bolt and turn the hub by pulling
at a 90 degree angle with a spring balance. Measure to
determine whether or not the rotary-sliding resistance of the
rear hub is within the limit value.
Limit: 24 N (5.4 pounds)

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION23A-4
TRANSMISSION
The transmission is made up of the torque converter and gear train. A 3-element, 1-stage, 2-phase torque
converter with built-in torque converter clutch is used. The gear train is made up of four sets of multi-disc
clutches, two sets of multi-plate brakes, one band type brake, two set of one-way clutches and three sets of
planetary gears. The planetary gears are made up of sun gears, carriers, pinion gears and annulus gears.

COMPONENTS AND FUNCTIONS
COMPONENT FUNCTION
Underdrive clutch UD connects the input shaft to the underdrive sun gear.
Reverse clutch REV connects the input shaft to the reverse sun gear.
Overdrive clutch OD connects the input shaft to the overdrive planetary carrier.
Direct clutch DIR connects the direct sun gear and direct planetary carrier.
Low-reverse brake LR holds the low-reverse annulus gear and the overdrive planetary
carrier.
Second brake 2ND holds the reverse sun gear.
Reduction brake RED locks the direct sun gear.
One-way clutch(DIR) OWC-D restricts the rotation direction of the direct sun gear.
One-way clutch(LR) OWC-LR restricts the rotation direction of the low-reverse annulus gear.

TORQUE CONVERTER STALL TESTM1231005400362
This test measures the maximum engine speed when the
selector lever is in the "D" or "R" position and the torque con-
verter stalls. This tests the operation of the torque converter,
starter motor and one-way clutch operation, as well as the hold-
ing performance of the clutches and brakes in the transmission.
Do not let anyone stand in front of or behind the vehi-
cle while this test is performed.
1. Check the transmission fluid level and temperature. Check
the engine coolant temperature.
Transmission fluid level: At the "HOT" mark on the dipstick
Transmission fluid temperature: 70 80C
Engine coolant temperature: 80 100C
NOTE: Measures transmission fluid temperature with
diagnostic tool MB991958 (MUT-III sub assembly).
2. Check both rear wheels.
3. Pull the parking brake lever on, with the brake pedal fully
depressed.
4. Start the engine. 9 Transmission
