Figure 7-3Automatic Transaxle Assembly Hydraulic Torque Converter and Transaxle3-31Figure 7-5 Figure 7-4Figure 7-1
Figure 7-23. Install transmission in the engine, its way like manual transmission. The torque converter cannot be allowed to
move in axial motion during operating (The dimension of A keeps constant). Install starter in the transmission
housing.
4. Connect Flexibility plate with torque converter, using 3 special bolts. The way is as follows. First, assemble one
bolt in the torque converter by the longer hole of the Flexibility plate, and then rotate engine belt pulley to install
the other bolts, finally use torque spanner to tighten the bolts. Tightening torque is 40~50N.m.
5. Install suspension bolt and drive shaft LH&RH, the assembling way like manual transmission.
6. Connect two cooling pipes as showed in the figure 7-3 with the corresponding pipe of transmission with clip.
7. Connect the cable between bracket of throttle and transmission actuator.
8. Throttle valve cable adjustment as follows:
First, use pliers to clip the hexangular position under throttle valve cable.Turn 60°~90°counterclockwise,
and lift throttle valve cable to make throttle valve cable adjustable move to top position, and then turn back
60°~90° clockwise, meanwhile, make it lock (See figure 7-4). Finally put accelerator pedal to end position.
When throttle valve makes "ka-ka" sound, the distance under the throttle valve should meet B=2~8mm. If not,
try again until the gap B=2~8mm under the throttle valve (see figure 7-5), if gap B=2-8mm, throttle valve cable
adjustment is finished.Central

2. Remove the front wheel.
3. Remove the left/right front wheel hub nuts.
4. Unfix the front stabilizer bar.
5. Unfix #1 left/ring front suspension sub-assembly.
6. Unfix the left/right ball extension rod sub-assembly.
7. Unfix the left/right front axles.
8. Remove the differential front oil seal (on the transaxle housing).Section 3 Differential Front Oil Seal (ATM)1. Check the hydraulic torque converter assembly.
(1)Measure the status of the hydraulic torque converter.
(2)Replace the ATF in the hydraulic torque converter.
(3)Wash and check oil freezer and oil pipe.
(4)Prevent the hydraulic torque converter being deformed and
the oil pump gear being damaged.
2. Check the drive disc and gear ring.
(1)Install a dial test indicator to measure the runout of the drive
disc. (See Fig.7-8)
(2)Check the damage of the gear ring.
Maximum runout: 0.25mm
If the runout is beyond the specified scope or the gear ring is
damaged, replace the drive disc.
Torque: 64N.m
3. Check the hydraulic torque converter. (See Fig.7-9)
Install the hydraulic torque converter on the drive disc temporarily,
and install a test indicator to measure the radial runout of the
hydraulic torque converter bushing.
Maximum radial runout: 0.20mm
If the radial runout is beyond the specified scope, readjust the
direction of installation.
Notes:
Mark the position of the torque converter to install it properly.
Remove the hydraulic torque converter.Figure 7-8Automatic Transaxle Assembly Differential Front Oil Seal (ATM) -

Chapter 5 Front Suspension SystemSection 1 Front Suspension SystemDescription on front suspension structureThis model uses strut swing arm independent suspension with stabilizer bar.
The shock absorber upper end is flexibly connected to the body through the shock absorber mounting seat, the
lower end is rigidly connected to the steering knuckle. The coil spring encloses the shock absorber (coil spring
geometrical axial line does not coincide with that of the shock absorber piston rod), and is supported between the
upper and lower spring seats.
Both ends of the stabilizer bar are connected to the shock absorber through the strut bar ball pin and the intermediate
part is supported on the lower front body by the rubber bushing and support frame.
The front cushion sleeves the shock absorber piston rod head to restrict the wheel jump limit position and plays
the role of buffer.
The thrust ball bearing, installed between the spring upper seat and the shock absorber mount, is used for the
relative rotation upon steering of the shock absorber rigidly connected to the steering knuckle to the shock absorber
mount flexibly connected to the body.
"L" type lower swing arm is secured to the lower engine compartment with the press plate through elastic rubber
bushing and hinge, and its outer end is connected to the steering knuckle through the ball stud pin which is attached
to the lower swing arm by 3 high intension bolts. The ball stud pin can be removed and replaced when it is worn.
The ball seat material is saturated polyester containing oil, featured in comparatively high intensity and wearability
and good self-lubrication performance. Proper amount of grease has been added during the assembly and there is
no need for additional filling during the normal operation.See the table for the front suspension technical parametersFront Suspension SystemFront Suspension System4-38Item
