id0517k3332200

1.  Handle electronic parts with care

•  Do not pull the wiring harness forcibly when disconnecting the connector. Unlock the lock first and pull the connector.

•  When connecting the connector, verify to insert it until it is properly locked. (Verify that a click sound is heard.)

•  Do not shock electronic parts. Replace with new parts if they have been dropped or subjected to shock.

2.  Prevent foreign matter from penetrating

•  Be sure to remove foreign matter such as dust and sand from the transaxle before removing parts.

•  Protect removed parts from dust with an object such as a vinyl sheet.

•  Do not use cotton work gloves or shop rags as frayed strings might get caught in the unit. Thus work with bare hands or use vinyl gloves.

3.  Prevent scratching

•  Do not pry with a flathead screwdriver forcibly. Slightly hit the case with a plastic hammer when separating component cases at seams.

•  Do not pull the valve forcibly.

•  Be careful not to get the wire harness caught between parts during installation.

4.  Prevent incorrect installation and lack of or missing parts

•  Be careful not to install parts incorrectly or lose parts since there are similar types of O-rings, snap rings, bearings and races. Take great care for straightening parts and checking installation direction.

•  Be careful not to drop small parts such as check balls or lose them during installation.

5.  Wash parts and apply oil

•  Wash each part before installing and dry using compressed air, and then apply the specified ATF type JWS3309.

•  Soak disks in ATF type JWS3309 before installing. In particular, soak new disks for 2 h or more so that the oil seeps into the lining.

•  If the thrust bearing or race falls during installation, use a small amount of yellow petrolatum grease.

•  Apply ATF type JWS3309 to contact and rotating surfaces.

•  Do not apply oil or drive the vehicle immediately after installing a part applied with sealant. Leave it for one hour or more.

•  Do not wash aluminum parts or rubber parts with alkaline chemicals.

•  Do not wash the rubber parts with white gasoline.

6.  Handling ATF with care

•  If you spill ATF on the floor, wipe it off immediately, as it is quite slippery and dangerous.

•  Be sure to use JWS3309 type ATF.
