Preliminary Inspection





NOTICE: The use of any transmission fluid other than what is recommended for this transaxle will cause transaxle damage. Refer to the Material specification and/or the transmission fluid level indicator for the correct fluid. Use only clean transmission fluid designated for this transaxle and torque converter being serviced.

NOTICE: Do not mix Mercon(R) V or Mercon(R) LV transmission fluid. This may cause erratic shift feel, erratic shift timing and/or transmission failure.

NOTE: Transmission fluid application:
- Early build vehicles require MERCON(R) V
- Late build vehicles require MERCON(R) LV

The following items must be checked prior to beginning the diagnostic procedures.
