Disassembly
1) Drive out left bearing cone (2) with 4th gear (3) by
using puller (4) and hydraulic press.
CAUTION!
• Use puller and hydraulic press that will
bear at least 5 ton (11,000 lb) safely.
• To avoid tooth damage, support 4th gear
(3) at flat side of puller.
2) Apply puller (5) to 2nd gear (4) and drive out 3rd &
4th gear spacer (2) and 3rd gear (3) together with
2nd gear by using hydraulic press. Needle bearing
would come out with 2nd gear.
CAUTION!
• If compression exceeds 5 ton (11,000 lb),
release compression once, reset bearing
puller and then continue press work again.
• To avoid gear tooth from being damaged,
support it at flat side of bearing puller.
3) Take out 2nd synchronizer outer ring, center cone
and inner ring.
4) Using special tool, remove circlip (1).
NOTE
Correct tool tips to be flat to facilitate
removal of circlip.

Transmission / Transaxle
Clutch
General Description
Clutch (Hydraulic Type) ConstructionS6RW0D5301001
The clutch is a diaphragm spring clutch of a dry single disc type. The diaphragm spring is of a tapering-finger type,
which is a solid ring in the outer diameter part, with a series of tapered fingers pointing inward.
The disc, carrying four torsional coil springs, is positioned on the transaxle input shaft with an involute spline fit.
The clutch cover is secured to the flywheel, and carries the diaphragm spring in such a way that the peripheral edge
part of the spring pushes on the pressure plate against the flywheel (with the disc in between), when the clutch release
bearing (incorporated in clutch operating cylinder) is held back. This is the engaged condition of the clutch.
Depressing the clutch pedal causes the release bearing (incorporated in clutch operating cylinder) to advance and
pushes on the tips of the tapered fingers of the diaphragm spring. When this happens, the diaphragm spring pulls the
pressure plate away from the flywheel, thereby interrupting the flow of drive from flywheel through clutch disc to
transaxle input shaft. Clutch fluid is supplied from brake fluid reservoir. Clutch fluid level can be checked by brake fluid
level of brake fluid reservoir.

General Description
Steering Wheel and Column ConstructionS6RW0D6201001
This double tube type steering column has the following three important features in addition to the steering function:
• The column is energy absorbing, designed to compress in a front-end collision.
• The ignition switch and lock are mounted conveniently on this column.
• With the column mounted lock, the ignition and steering operations can be locked to inhibit theft of the vehicle.
To insure the energy absorbing action, it is important that only the specified screws, bolts and nuts be used as
designated, and that they are tightened to the specified torque. When the column assembly is removed from the
vehicle, special care must be taken in handling it. Use of a steering wheel puller other than the recommended puller in
this manual or a sharp blow on the end of the steering shaft, leaning on the assembly, or dropping the assembly could
shear the plastic shear pins which maintain column length and position.
The driver air bag (inflator) module is one of the supplemental restraint (air bag) system components and is mounted
to the center of the steering wheel. During certain frontal crashes, the air bag system supplements the restraint of the
driver’s and passenger’s seat belts by deploying the air bags. The air bag (inflator) module should be handled with
care to prevent accidental deployment. When servicing, be sure to observe “Precautions on Service and Diagnosis of
Air Bag System in Section 8B”.

Steering Wheel Removal and InstallationS6RW0D6206002
CAUTION!
Do not turn the contact coil more than
allowable number of turns (about two and a
half turns from the center position clockwise
or counterclockwise respectively) with
steering wheel removed, or coil will break.
Removal
CAUTION!
Do not hammer the end of the shaft.
Hammering it will loosen the plastic shear
pins which maintain the column length and
impair the collapsible design of the column.
1) Disconnect negative (–) cable at battery.
2) Disable air bag system referring to “Disabling Air
Bag System in Section 8B”.
3) Remove driver air bag (inflator) module from
steering wheel. Refer to “Driver Air Bag (Inflator)
Module Removal and Installation in Section 8B”.
4) Disconnect horn connector and audio control switch
connector, if equipped.
5) Remove steering shaft nut and then make alignment
marks (1) on steering wheel and shaft for a guide
during reinstallation.6) Remove steering wheel using special tool.
Special tool
(A): 09944–36011
InstallationCAUTION!
Following 2 Steps (Step 1) and 2)) are
prerequisite for installation of steering wheel.
If steering wheel has been installed without
these 2 Steps, contact coil will break when
steering wheel is turned.
1) Check that vehicle’s front tires are at straight-ahead
position and contact coil is centered. If contact coil is
turned after removing steering wheel, center contact
coil referring to “Centering Contact Coil Cable
Assembly”.
2) Install steering wheel to steering shaft with 2 grooves
(1) on contact coil fitted in 2 lugs (2) in the back of
steering wheel and also aligning marks (3) on
steering wheel and steering shaft.
3) Tighten steering shaft nut (4) to specified torque.
