Transaxle Continued





71. Install the remaining bolts.





72. Install the bolts.





73. CAUTION: The test spring from the overdrive servo rod tool is plain in color and has a shorter free height than the operational spring. Extreme care must be used not to assemble the transaxle using the test spring.

Inspect the spring height.
1 Test spring
2 Original spring





74. Overdrive servo travel check. Install the overdrive servo piston.
1 Install the test spring.
2 Install the overdrive servo piston.





75. Install the special tools.





76. Using the special tools, tighten the center screw and zero out the dial indicator.





77. Using the special tools, back off the center screw until the piston movement stops and read the dial indicator. The reading should be within specification. If the reading does not match the specification, see the overdrive specification chart and determine which overdrive servo rod to use.
78. If the overdrive servo travel was incorrect install a new overdrive servo rod. Zero the dial indicator and repeat the above step to verify the amount of piston travel. If within specification, remove the tool and test spring.

79. CAUTION: Do not assemble the transaxle using the test spring.

Install the overdrive servo.
1 Install the overdrive servo spring.
2 Install the overdrive servo.
3 Install the overdrive servo cover and bolts.





80. Install the special tool.





81. WARNING: Wear safety glasses while carrying out this procedure to prevent personal injury.

NOTE: When applying regulated 276 kPa (40 psi) air pressure to the appropriate passage, a dull thud should be heard when the clutch or band applies. There should be no hissing sound when the clutch or band applies.

NOTE: Plugging the vent hole during the test will provide an inaccurate result.

Cover the vent hole in the test plate with a clean lint free shop towel to prevent spray when air is applied. Apply air pressure to the appropriate clutch ports.





82. CAUTION: The seals must be lapped correctly or internal leakage will occur.

Install the new Teflon seals on the pump shaft.





83. Install the pump shaft.





84. Install the manual valve detent lever.





85. Install the main control valve body over the pump shaft and connect the main control valve actuating rod while pushing down until it is seated on the chain cover.





86. CAUTION: Do not use the bolts to draw pump assembly and main control valve body onto the chain cover case. Component damage may occur.

Install the pump assembly and main control valve body. Using the special tools, loosely install the bolts.





87. Remove the special tools and install the two bolts in their place. Tighten all the bolts in the sequence shown.





88. Connect the connectors.





89. NOTE: The transaxle side cover gasket is reusable if not torn or ripped.

Remove the gasket. Clean and inspect the gasket, reinstall into the pan.





90. Install the transmission fluid pan.





91. Install the rear transmission mount insulator bracket and mount.





92. Tighten the reverse clutch anchor bolt.

2 Tighten the locknut.





93. Install the new fluid filter and seal assembly.





94. Install the fluid pan magnet.





95. NOTE: The gasket is reusable if not damaged or torn.

Install the transmission fluid pan and gasket.





96. Install the Turbine Shaft Speed (TSS) sensor.
1 Install the sensor.
2 Install the bolt.
97. Verify that the shift selector lever is in NEUTRAL.





98. Install the digital TR sensor and loosely install the bolts.





99. Using the special tool, align the digital TR sensor and tighten the bolts.





100. Install the fluid filler tube with a new grommet.





101. Using the special tool, install the LH output shaft seal.





102. Using the special tool, install the RH output shaft seal.





103. CAUTION: Make sure that the output shaft speed (OSS) sensor is fully seated in the transaxle case or damage to the sensor bracket will occur and possibly set a faulty DTC code.

Install the Output Shaft Speed (OSS) sensor and reconnect the harness.





104. Install the Output Shaft Speed (OSS) sensor cover.





105. Install the heat shield.





106. Install the identification tag, if removed.





107. Using the special tools, install the torque converter.
