Transmission Speed Sensor: Service and Repair

Revolution Sensor Components
REMOVAL
1. Disconnect the battery cable from negative terminal.
2. Drain ATF through drain plug.
3. Remove front cross bar. Refer to "Components".
4. Remove exhaust front tube and center muffler with power tool. Refer to "Removal and Installation".
5. Remove rear propeller shaft. Refer to."Removal and Installation".
6. Remove control rod. Refer to "Control Rod Removal and Installation".





7. Remove oil pan and oil pan gasket.





8. Check foreign materials in oil pan to help determine causes of malfunction. If the A/T fluid is very dark, smells burned, or contains foreign particles, the frictional material (clutches, band) may need replacement. A tacky film that will not wipe clean indicates varnish build up. Varnish can cause valves, servo, and clutches to stick and can inhibit pump pressure.
If frictional material is detected, perform A/T fluid cooler cleaning. Refer to AT-15, "A/T Fluid Cooler Cleaning". A/T Fluid Cooler Cleaning
9. Support transmission assembly with a transmission jack.

CAUTION: When setting transmission jack, place wooden blocks to prevent from damaging control valve with TCM and transmission case.

10. Remove engine rear member with power tool. Refer to "Removal and Installation (2WD Models)"





11. Remove tightening bolts for rear extension assembly and transmission case.





12. tap rear extension assembly with soft hammer.





13. Remove rear extension assembly from transmission case. (With needle bearing.)





14. Disconnect revolution sensor connector.

CAUTION: Be careful not to damage connector.

15. Straighten terminal clips to free revolution sensor harness.





16. Remove revolution sensor from transmission case.

CAUTION:
^ Do not subject if to impact by dropping or hitting it.
^ Do not disassemble.
^ Do not allow metal filings, etc., to get on the sensor's front edge magnetic area.
^ Do not place in an area affected by magnetism.

INSTALLATION
