AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DISASSEMBLY
Precaution
The following are precautions that must be followed performing removal/installation.
1. Handle electronic parts with care
Do not pull the wiring harness forcibly when disconnecting the connector. Unlock the first and pull
the connector.
When connecting the connector, verify that it is inserted until it is properly locked. (Verify that a
click sound is heard.)
Do not apply shock to electronic parts. Replace with new parts if they have been dropped or
subjected to shock.
2. Prevent foreign matter from penetrating
Be sure to remove foreign matter such as dust and sand from the automatic transaxle before
removing parts.
Protect removed parts from dust with an object such as a vinyl sheet.
Do not use cotton work gloves or shop rags as frayed strings might get caught in the unit. Work
with bare hands or use vinyl gloves.
3. Prevent scratching
Do not pry with a screwdriver forcibly. Slightly tap the case with a plastic hammer when separating
component cases at seams.
Do not pull the valve forcibly.
Be careful not to get the wiring harness caught between parts during installation.
4. Prevent incorrect or insufficient, installation or missing parts
Be careful not to install parts incorrectly or lose parts since there are similar types of O-rings, snap
rings, bearings and races. Be careful to for straighten parts and check their installation direction.
Be careful not to drop small parts such as check balls or lose them during installation.
5. Wash parts and apply oil
Wash each part before installing and dry using compressed air, and then apply the specified ATF
type JWS3309.
Soak discs in ATF type JWS3309 before installing. In particular, soak a new disc for
2 h or more
so that the oil seeps into the lining.
If the thrust bearing or race falls during installation, use a small amount of yellow petrolatum
grease.
Apply ATF type JWS3309 to contact and rotating surfaces.
