A/T FLUID
Checking A/T FluidINFOID:0000000005928070
1. Warm up engine.
2. Check for A/T fluid leakage.
3. Before driving, A/T fluid level can be checked at A/T fluid tem- peratures of 30° to 50°C (86° to 122° F) using the “COLD” range
on A/T fluid level gauge.
• A : Front side
• B : Reverse side
•C : Add
• D : OK
a. Park vehicle on level surface and set parking brake.
b. Start engine and move selector lever through each gear posi- tion. Leave selector lever in “P” position.
c. Check A/T fluid level with engine idling.
d. Remove A/T fluid level gauge and wipe clean with lint-free cloth. CAUTION:
When wiping the A/T fluid l evel gauge, always use lint-free
cloth.
e. Re-insert A/T fluid level gauge into A/T fluid charging pipe as far as it will go.
CAUTION:
Firmly fix the A/T fluid level ga uge to the A/T fluid charging
pipe using the stopper attached.
f. Remove A/T fluid level gauge and note reading. If reading is at low side of range, add A/T fluid to the A/T fluid charging pipe.
CAUTION:
Do not overfill.
4. Drive vehicle for approximately 5 minutes.
5. Re-check A/T fluid level at A/T fluid temperatures of 50° to 80 °C (122° to 176°F) using “HOT” range on A/
T fluid level gauge.
CAUTION:
• When wiping the A/T fluid level gauge, always use lint-free cloth.
• Firmly fix the A/T fluid level ga uge to the A/T fluid charging pipe using the stopper attached.
6. Check A/T fluid condition and make any necessary repairs. Refer to AT-51, "
Inspections Before Trouble
Diagnosis". If the A/T fluid contains frictional material (clutches, bands, etc.), or if the A/T is repaired, over-
hauled, or replaced, inspect and clean the A/T fluid cooler mounted in the radiator. Refer to AT-18, "
A/T
Fluid Cooler Cleaning".
7. Install the removed A/T fluid level gauge into the A/T fluid charging pipe. CAUTION:
Firmly fix the A/T fluid level gaug e to the A/T fluid charging pipe using the stopper attached.
Changing A/T FluidINFOID:0000000005928071
1. Warm up A/T fluid.
2. Stop engine.
3. Drain A/T fluid by removing the drain plug. Re install the drain plug to the specified torque.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse drain plug gasket.
4. Refill the transaxle with new specified A/T fluid through the A/T fluid charging pipe. Always refill the tran- saxle with the same volume of A/T fluid that was drained out.

A/T FLUID
1. Inspect the coffee filter for debris.
a. If small metal debris less than 1mm (0.040 in) in size or metalpowder is found in the coffee filter, this is normal. If normal
debris is found, the A/T fluid cooler/radiator can be re-used and
the procedure is ended.
b. If one or more pieces of debris are found that are over 1mm (0.040 in) in size and/or peeled clutch facing material is found in
the coffee filter, the A/T fluid cooler is not serviceable. The A/T
fluid cooler/radiator must be replaced and the inspection proce-
dure is ended. Refer to CO-40, "
Component".
A/T FLUID COOLER FINAL INSPECTION
After performing all procedures, ensure that all remaining oil is cleaned from all components.

• *1: Operates when OD OFF. (OD OFF indicator lamp is on.)
• *2: Oil pressure is applied to both 2nd “apply” side and 3rd “release” side of band servo piston. However, brake band does not contract
because oil pressure area on the “release” side is greater than that on the “apply” side.
• *3: Oil pressure is applied to 4th “apply” side on condition *2 above, and brake band contracts.
• *4: A/T will not shift to 4th when OD OFF. (OD OFF indicator lamp is on.)
• : Operates.
• A: Operates when throttle opening is less than specification**, activating engine brake.
• B: Operates during “pro gressive” acceleration.
• C: Operates but does not affect power transmission.
• D: Operates when throttle opening is less than specification**, but does not affect engine brake.
- **: Overrun clutch remains in engaged condition when throttle opening is less than 1/16.
POWER TRANSMISSION
“N” and “P” Positions
• “N” position Power from the input shaft is not transmitted to the output shaft because the clutches do not operate.
• “P” position
Similar to the “N” position, the clutches do not operate. The parking pawl engages with the parking gear to
mechanically hold the output shaft so that the power train is locked.

“D
1” and “21” Positions
*: Overrun clutch remains in engaged condition when throttle opening is less than 1/16. •
Forward clutch
• Forward one-way clutch
• Overrun clutch
• Low & reverse brake As overrun clutch engages, rear internal gear is locked by the operation of low and re-
verse brake.
This is different from that of D
1 and 21.
Engine brake Overrun clutch always engages, therefore engine brake can be obtained when deceler-
ating.
SCIA1816E
• Forward one-way clutch
• Forward clutch
• Low one-way clutch Rear internal gear is locked to rotate counterclockwise because of the functioning of these three
clutches.

1: Always engaged
At D
1 and 21 positions, engine brake is not activated due to free turning of low one- way clutch.
