Step 11 - 20

DISASSEMBLY

NOTE: If transaxle is being overhauled (clutch and/or seal replacement) or replaced, it is necessary to perform the PCM/TCM Quick Learn Procedure Testing and Inspection.

NOTE: This procedure does not include final drive (differential) disassembly.





NOTE: Depending on engine application, some accumulators will have two springs and others will have one spring. The springs are color-coded according to application and year. When disassembling, mark accumulator spring location to ease assembly.

11. Remove underdrive (2) and overdrive (4) accumulators.




12. Remove low/reverse accumulator snap ring (1).




13. Remove low/reverse accumulator plug (2).




14. Remove low/reverse accumulator piston (1) using suitable pliers.




15. Remove low/reverse accumulator return springs (3).




16. Measure input shaft end play. Place transaxle so input shaft is vertical. Set up End Play Socket Set and dial indicator (2,3). Input shaft end play should be within 0.13-0.64 mm (0.005-0.025 in.) If outside of this range, a #4 thrust plate change is required. Record indicator reading for reference upon reassembly.




17. Remove oil pump-to-case bolts (1).




CAUTION: Be sure input speed sensor is removed before removing oil pump.

18. Install oil pump puller C-3752 (1).




19. Remove oil pump assembly (1).




20. Remove oil pump gasket (1).
