Precaution

1. Clean the transmission exterior thoroughly with a steam cleaner or cleaning solvents before disassembly.

WARNING: Using compressed air can cause dirt and other particles to fly out, causing injury to the eyes. Wear protective eyewear whenever using compressed air.

CAUTION: Cleaning sealed bearings with cleaning fluids or a steam cleaner can wash the grease out of the bearing.

2. Clean the removed parts (except sealed bearings) with cleaning solvent, and dry with compressed air. Clean out all holes and passages with compressed air, and check that there are no obstructions.
3. Use a plastic hammer when disassembling the transmission case and other light alloy metal parts.
