1. Place the selector lever knob (1) in “N” position.
2. Slide knob cover (2) downward.
3. Pull out lock pin (3) from selector lever knob (1).
4. Remove selector lever knob (1) and knob cover (2) as a set from
selector lever.
CAUTION:
Do not push selector button.
INSTALLATION
1. Insert lock pin (1) to selector lever knob (2).
2. Install knob cover (3) to selector lever knob (2).
3. Place the selector lever in “N” position.
4. Install selector lever knob over selector lever until a click is felt.
CAUTION:
• Do not tilt selector lever knob when installing. Install it
straight, and do not tap or apply any shock to install it.
• Do not push selector button.
Adjustment of A/T PositionINFOID:0000000001703359
Move selector lever from “P” position to “1” position. You should be able to feel the detents in each position. If
the detents cannot be felt or if the position indicator is improperly aligned, the control cable needs adjustment.
CAUTION:
Make sure that parking brake is applied before adjustment.
1. Remove the air duct assembly. Refer to EM-16
.
2. Remove the control cable nut (A) and control cable (1) and
place the manual lever (2) in the "P' position.
3. Place selector lever in “P” position.
4. Hold control cable (1) at the end and pull it with a force of 9.8 N
(approximately 1 kg, 2.2 lb). Release the control cable and tem-
porarily tighten control cable nut (A).
5. Tighten control cable nut (A) to the specified torque.
CAUTION:
Secure manual lever when tightening nut.
6. Move selector lever from “P” to “1” position again. Make sure that selector lever moves smoothly.
7. Check A/T position. Refer to AT-207, "
Checking of A/T Position".
8. Install air duct assembly. Refer to EM-16
.
Checking of A/T PositionINFOID:0000000001703360
1. Place selector lever in “P” position, and turn ignition switch ON (Do not start engine).
2. Make sure selector lever can be shifted to other than “P” position when brake pedal is depressed. Also
make sure selector lever can be shifted from “P” position only when brake pedal is depressed.
3. Move selector lever and check for excessive effort, sticking, noise or rattle.
4. Confirm selector lever stops at each position with the feel of engagement when it is moved through all the
positions. Check whether or not the actual position selector lever is in matches the position shown by the
shift position indicator and the transaxle.

ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
a. Apply compressed air to the oil hole as shown, and remove
servo release accumulator piston from transaxle case.
CAUTION:
Strong flow of air will push the accumulator piston out
along with a splash of ATF. To avoid this cover the area with
lint-free cloth and blow air little by little.
b. Apply compressed air to the oil hole as shown, and remove N-D
accumulator piston and return spring from transaxle case.
CAUTION:
Strong flow of air will push the accumulator piston out
along with a splash of ATF. To avoid this cover the area with
lint-free cloth and blow air little by little.
c. Remove O-rings (1) from servo release accumulator piston (2)
and N-D accumulator piston (3).
CAUTION:
Wrap the removed servo release accumulator piston (2) and
N-D accumulator piston (3) in a lint-free cloth.
16. Remove lip seals (1) from transaxle case.
Inspection
• Inspect the sliding surfaces of each accumulator piston and tran-
saxle case, and replace if damaged or dented.
(1): Servo release accumulator piston
(2): N-D accumulator piston
• Inspect the sliding surfaces of manual valve and valve body, and
replace if damaged or dented.

(1): Return spring (Servo release accumulator)
(2): Return spring (N-D accumulator)
CAUTION:
Do not remove spring retainer (3).
Installation
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
• Completely remove all moisture, oil and old gasket from the oil pan gasket mounting surface of tran-
saxle case and oil pan.
• Do not reuse O-rings, lip seals, oil pan gasket and oil pan bolts.
• Apply ATF to manual valve, O-rings, lip seals and sliding surfaces of the transaxle case.
NOTE:
• Set manual shaft in “N” position, then align manual plate (1) with
groove in manual valve (2).
• After installing control valve assembly to transaxle case, make
sure that selector lever can be moved to all positions.
• After completing installation, check for A/T fluid leakage and A/T
fluid level. Refer to MA-22, "
Checking A/T Fluid".
