CAUTION:
^ Do not subject it 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
Note the following, and install in the reverse order removal.

CAUTION:
^ Insert the tip of parking rod between the parking pole and the parking actuator support when assembling the rear extension assembly.
^ Do not reuse drain plug gasket.


^ Refer to the followings when revolution sensor.

CAUTION:

<---: Vehicle front

2WD: Inspection

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL





Check foreign materials in oil pan to help determine causes of malfunction. If the ATF 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 TM-143, "Cleaning". Service and Repair

INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Check the following item after completing installation.
^ A/T fluid leakage and A/T fluid level. Refer to TM-141, "Inspection". Procedures
^ A/T position. Refer to TM-153, "2WD: Inspection and Adjustment". Testing and Inspection
