MODEL: All

SUBJECT:
Remanufactured Automatic Transaxle Visual Inspection

DESCRIPTION:

Before replacing an automatic transaxle with a remanufactured unit, it is critical that dealer technicians perform a "30 second walkaround" comparison of the two units. This quick inspection will verify that the replacement transaxle is fully interchangeable with the one being removed.

Prior to installing a remanufactured ATM, carefully compare the two ATMs, looking especially at the following.

^ Torque Converters - ring gear location (stepped versus flush), exact match, number of bolts, and bolt patterns

^ Wire Harness - harness length, like connectors, pigtail/no pigtail

^ Kickdown Servo Switch - wire connector shape

^ ATM Temperature Sensor - connector shape, 2 or 3 wires

An inspection should be conducted every time to confirm that the remanufactured transaxle is interchangeable, prior to attempting installation.

NOTE:
A transaxle which has been installed cannot be returned for credit,
