7) Pull out fluid level gauge (1) again and check fluid
level indicated on it. The lowest fluid level should be
between FULL HOT (2) and LOW HOT (3). If it is
below LOW HOT, add SUZUKI ATF 3317 or Mobil
ATF 3309 up to FULL HOT.
Automatic transaxle fluid
SUZUKI ATF 3317 or Mobil ATF 3309
NOTE
• Do not race engine while checking fluid
level, even after the engine start.
• Do not overfill. Overfilling can cause
foaming and loss of fluid through breather.
Then slippage and transaxle failure can
result.
• Bringing the level from LOW HOT to FULL
HOT requires 0.4 liters (0.85 / 0.70 US/Imp.
pt).
• If vehicle was driven under high load such
as pulling a trailer, fluid level should be
checked about half an hour after it is
stopped.

Level Check at Room (Cold) Temperature – Cold
Check
Fluid level can be checked temporarily at room (cold)
temperature which correspond to 20 – 30 °C (68 – 86
°F). This level check is considered to be preparation
before performing level check under normal operating
(hot) temperature. Checking procedure itself is the same
as that described in “Level Check at Normal Operating
(Hot) Temperature – Hot Check: ”. If fluid level is
between “FULL COLD” (4) and “LOW COLD” (5),
proceed to test drive. And when fluid temperature has
reached normal operating temperature, check fluid level
again and adjust it as necessary.
CAUTION!
Fluid level check at room (cold) temperature
is recommended only for preparation of level
check under normal (hot) operating
condition.
Failure to perform fluid level check under
normal (hot) operating temperature may
result in damage to transaxle.

A/T Fluid ChangeS6RW0D5106003
CAUTION!
Do not use any fluid other than the specified
ATF. Use of any fluid other than the specified
ATF may cause juddering or some other
faulty condition to occur.

1) Lift up vehicle.
2) Remove left side engine under cover.
3) When engine is cool, remove drain plug (1) from oil
pan (2) and drain A/T fluid.
4) Install drain plug (1).

Inspection
Brake discs
Dry and inspect them for pitting, burn flaking, significant
wear, glazing, cracking, charring and chips or metal
particles imbedded in lining.
If discs show any of the above conditions, replacement
is required.
NOTE
• If disc lining is exfoliated or discolored,
replace all discs.
• Before assembling new discs, soak them
in A/T fluid for at least two hours.

Brake separator plates and retaining plates
Dry plates and check for discoloration. If plate surface is
smooth and even color smear is indicated, plate should
be reused. If severe heat spot discoloration or surface
scuffing is indicated, plate must be replaced.
Brake return spring subassembly

Evidence of extreme heat or burning in the area of clutch
may have caused springs to take heat set and would
require their replacement.
