The manual transmission consists of the input shaft,
main shaft, counter shaft and reverse gear which are
installed in the aluminum and castings cases. Its
gears are of forward five speeds in synchro mesh and
reverse one speed in sliding idler gear arrangement
system.
The main shaft gears are held by the needle bear-
ings and on them the synchronizer rings and syn-
chronizer sleeve & hubs are assembled.
The gear shift lever case is located at the upper be-
hind the transmission case and has a cam which pre-
vents direct gear shift from the 5th speed gear to the
reverse gear.As the aluminum and castings cases are sealed with
liquid type gasket, it is necessary to use genuine seal-
ant or its equivalent on its mating surfaces when reas-
sembling them. Also, the case fastening bolts must be
tightened to specified torque by means of the torque
wrench and tightening over or below the specified
torque should be avoided.
The description under ON-VEHICLE SERVICE in this
section covers the transfer partially which is next to
the transmission as well, but their gear boxes are in-
dependent and each of them has its own drain and
level / filler plugs for the oil change or the level check.
For the repair procedure of the transfer unit, refer to
Section 7D.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This automatic transmission is a full automatic type with 3-speed plus overdrive (O / D).
The torque converter is a 3-element, 1-step and 2-phase type and is equipped with an electronically controlled
lock-up mechanism. The gear shift device consists of 3 sets of planetary gear units, 3 disc type clutches, 4 disc
type brakes and 3 one-way clutches. The gear shift is done by selecting one of 6 positions (ªPº, ªRº, ªNº, ªDº, ª2º
and ªLº) by means of the select lever installed on the floor. On the shift knob, there is an overdrive (O / D) cut switch
which allows shift-up to the overdrive mode (except at 4L) and shift-down from the overdrive mode. Also, by using
the P / N change switch located on the console box, it is possible to select the gear change timing of 2 modes, nor-
mal and power.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (4 A / T) 7B1-57
MANUAL ROAD TEST
This test check the gear being used in ªLº, ª2º or ªDº range when
driven with unoperated gear shift control system. Test drive vehicle
on a level road.
NOTE:
Before this test, check diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
1) Disconnect coupler of shift solenoid valves on transmission.
WARNING:
To avoid the danger of being burned, do not touch the hot
exhaust system when disconnecting shift solenoid
valves coupler.
2) With select lever in ªPº, start engine and warm it up.
3) With select lever in ªLº range, start vehicle and accelerate to 20
km/h (12.5 mile/h). Check in this state that 1st gear is being
used.
4) At 20 km/h (12.5 mile/h), shift select lever to 2 range and acceler-
ate to 40 km/h (25 mile/h). Check in this state that 3rd gear is
being used.
5) At 40 km/h (25 mile/h), shift select lever to D range and check
that O/D gear is used when speed is higher than 40 km/h (25
mile/h).
6) After above checks, stop vehicle then engine, and connect shift
solenoids coupler with ignition switch OFF.
WARNING:
To avoid the danger of being burned, do not touch the hot
exhaust system when connecting shift solenoid valves
coupler.
7) Clear DTC with scan tool.
TIME LAG TEST
This test is to check conditions of clutch, reverse brake and fluid
pressure. ªTime lagº means time elapsed since select lever is
shifted with engine idling till shock is felt.
1) With chocks placed before and behind front and rear wheels re-
spectively, depress brake pedal.
2) Start engine.
3) With stop watch ready, shift select lever from ªNº to ªDº range
and measure time from that moment till shock is felt.
4) Similarly measure time lag by shifting select lever from ªNº to ªRº
range.
Specification for ªNº
ªDºLess than 1.2 sec.
time lagªNº
ªRºLess than 1.5 sec.
NOTE:

When repeating this test, be sure to wait at least minute
after select lever is shifted back to ªNº range.

Engine should be warmed up fully for this test.
