Item 5 Measuring # 1 Check Ball Clearance

If the check ball does not have the appropriate amount of clearance, it may stick in the pocket when the transaxle is hot.

NOTE:
THIS ONLY APPLIES TO EARLY MODEL YEAR (89-95) TRANSAXLES.





Remove the valve body and use a dial caliper to check the distance between the top of the # 1 check ball and the top edge (machined surface) of the valve body (Figure 1). If the measurement is less than 0.178 mm (.007 in.), replace the valve body with the most current part number for the application.
