Manual Road TestS7RS0B5104012
WARNING!
Carry out test in very little traffic area to prevent an accident.
Test requires 2 persons, a driver and a tester.
The purpose of this test is to judge whether causal factor of trouble which occurred in automatic transaxle is electrical
or mechanical by disconnecting valve body harness co nnector (1) and fixing automatic transaxle gear position.
1) Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
2) Turn ignition switch to OFF position and disconnect valve body harness connector (1).
3) Turn OFF all electrical loads. With select lever shifted to each ra nge (“L”, “2”, “3” and “D”), drive vehi cle at 1,000 rpm engine speed and then
check vehicle speed by referring to “Fixed gear position”.
If vehicle speed is not as specified in “Fix ed gear position” table, go to troubleshooting.
4) Connect valve body harness connector and clear DTC.

Troubleshooting
Engine Brake TestS7RS0B5104013
WARNING!
Before test, make sure that there is no vehicle behind so as to prevent rear-end collision.
1) While driving vehicle in 3rd gear of “D” range, shift select lever down to “2” range and check if engine brake
operates.
2) In the same way as in Step 1), check engine brake for operation when select lever is shifted down to “L” range.
3) Engine brake should operate in the test.
Troubleshooting
Stall TestS7RS0B5104014
This test is to check overall performance of automatic tr ansaxle and engine by measuring stall speed at “D” and “R”
ranges. Be sure to perform this test only when transaxle fluid is at normal operating temperature and its level is
between FULL and LOW marks.
CAUTION!
• Do not run engine at stall more than 5 seconds continuously, or fluid temperature may rise excessively high.
• After performing stall test, be su re to leave engine running at idle for longer than 1 minute before
another stall test.
1) Apply parking brake and block wheels.
2) Install tachometer.
3) Start engine with select lever shifted to “P” range.
4) Depress brake pedal fully.
5) Shift select lever to “D” range and depress accelerator pedal fully while watching tachometer. Read engine rpm quickly when it has become constant (stall speed).
6) Release accelerator pedal immediately after stall speed is checked.
7) In the same way, check stall speed in “R” range.
8) Stall speed should be withi n the following specification.
Engine stall speed
Standard: 2100 – 2400 rpm Condition Possible cause Correction / Reference Item
Operated gear is not
correct Faulty valve body component
Replace valve body assembly.
Faulty clutch or brake Inspect clutch and brake. If any parts are faulty,
replace them.
Condition Possible cause Correction / Reference Item

Operation Check
Shift solenoid valve-A (No.1) and -B (No.2)
CAUTION!
• Do not insert air gun against strainer installed on inlet of solenoid valve too
deeply, when blowing air into solenoid
valve. If not, the strainer will be damaged.
• Be very careful as dust etc. does not enter when solenoid valves are inspected.
• Check that solenoid valve (1) actuate with click sound when battery voltage is conducted.
• When solenoid valve (1) is connected to battery (2), confirm that solenoid valve is close condition by
blowing air (50 – 200 kPa, 0.5 – 2.0 kg/cm
2, 7 – 28.5
psi) into solenoid valve as shown in figure.
• When solenoid valve (1) is not connected to battery (2), confirm that solenoid valve is open condition by
blowing air (50 – 200 kPa, 0.5 – 2.0 kg/cm
2, 7 – 28.5
psi) into solenoid valve as shown in figure.
NOTE
Do not fail to inspect with air to prevent
mistaken checking because return spring for
valve is not installe d into solenoid valve.

General Description
Manual Transaxle Construction and ServicingS7RS0B5201001
The transaxle provides five forward speeds and one reverse speed by means of three synchromeshs and three shafts
(input shaft, countershaft and reverse gear shaft). All forward gears are in constant mesh, and reverse uses a sliding
idler gear arrangement.
The low speed synchronizer sleeve & hub is mounted on countershaft and engaged with countershaft 1st gear or 2nd
gear, while the high speed synchronizer sleeve & hub is don e on input shaft and engaged with input shaft 3rd gear or
4th gear. The 5th speed synchronizer sleev e & hub on input shaft is engaged with input shaft fifth gear mounted on the
input shaft.
To prevent the cracking noise from the reverse gear when shifting transaxle gear into the reverse gear, the reverse
shift braking device is used.
The device utilizes the 5th synchromesh, which is the lever synchro type, to appl y the brake on the input shaft rotation.
The double cone synchronizing mechanism is provided to 2nd gear synchromesh device for high performance of
shifting to 2nd gear.
The countershaft turns the final gear and differential assembly, thereby turning the front drive shafts which are
attached to the front wheels.
For servicing, it is ne cessary to use genuine sealant or its equivalent on mating surfaces of transaxle case which is
made of aluminum. The case fastening bolts must be tight ened to specified torque by means of torque wrench. It is
also important that all parts are thoroughly cleaned with cleaning fluid and air dried before reassembling.
Further, care must be taken to adjust preload of count ershaft taper roller bearings. New synchronizer rings are
prohibited from being lapped with respective gear cones by using lapping compound before they are assembled.
