Part 1

NOTE: Keep all of the transaxle components away from dirt and other contaminants. Place all parts that were removed from the transaxle in a clean area and cover them with a clean, lint free towel.

1. Remove the torque converter from the transaxle.
2. Mount the transaxle in Bench Mounted Holding Fixture 307-003 (T57L-500-B).
3. Remove the transmission drain plug and drain the transmission fluid into a suitable container.





4. Use Holding Wire 307-089 (T81 P-7902-A) to hold the torque converter one-way bearing support and turn the one-way clutch with a screwdriver. Ensure that it only rotates clockwise. If the one-way clutch rotates in both directions, replace the torque converter.

NOTE: Place the torque converter onto a clean workbench with the front of the torque converter facing up. The one-way clutch should only turn clockwise.

5. Remove the transaxle oil cooler tube from the transaxle case.





6. Set the manual shift linkage rod to the PARK (P) position as shown.
7. Remove the three Transmission Range (TR) switch bolts and the TR switch.
8. Remove the 21 transmission oil pan bolts, the transmission fluid pan and the oil pan to case gasket. Discard the transmission oil pan bolts and oil pan to case gasket.





9. Remove and clean both oil pan magnets.

CAUTION: Mark the location of the oil pan magnets during removal. The magnetic field created by the oil pan magnets disturbs the operation of the solenoids. To ensure proper solenoid valve operation, install the oil pan magnets in the same location they were removed from.

NOTE: Examine the transmission fluid and the particles left in the transmission fluid pan. This may help in diagnosing any concerns. Transmission fluid that is very dark, has a burnt smell, or contains particles indicates the friction surfaces (clutches or band) may need replacement. A tacky film indicates varnish buildup which can cause sticking valves, servos, and clutches and may also inhibit oil pump pressure.

NOTE: If the transmission fluid is contaminated with metal shavings, friction material, or is burnt, the transmission oil cooler tubes will have to be flushed and the transmission fluid cooler replaced.

10. Ensure that the transaxle and the transmission oil pan mating surfaces are free from all of the old oil pan to case gasket material.

Valve Body Bolt Removal:

11. Remove valve body bolts a, b, and c.

NOTE: Identify the valve body bolts for installation.





12. Remove the spring clip from the valve body wiring harness grommet.





13. Slide the valve body wiring harness grommet and wiring harness through the transaxle case.
14. Remove the main control valve body from the transaxle case.





15. Remove the D-R accumulator return spring from the D-R accumulator piston.

Accumulator Piston Removal:

16. Apply compressed air to the D-R accumulator piston to remove it from its bore.
17. Remove and discard the two upper accumulator seals from the D-R accumulator piston.





18. Apply compressed air to the N-D accumulator piston to remove it from its bore.
19. Remove and discard the two accumulator retainer seals from the N-D accumulator.
20. Inspect the accumulator pistons and contact surfaces for wear or damage. Replace any of the accumulator pistons if damaged.





21. Remove the N-D accumulator piston spring from its bore.





22. Remove the four O-rings from the transaxle case. Discard the O-rings.





23. Remove the two low/reverse clutch apply oil transfer tube bolts.
24. Remove the low/reverse clutch apply oil transfer tube and rear lube oil transfer tube seal. Inspect the rear lube oil transfer tube seal on the end of the low/reverse clutch apply oil transfer tube.





25. Remove the 21 torque converter housing-to-transaxle case bolts.





26. Tap lightly on the torque converter housing with a soft hammer to separate the torque converter housing from the transaxle case.





27. Remove the differential oil port O-ring from the differential oil port. Discard the differential oil port O-ring.





28. Remove the differential from the transaxle case.





29. Use Impact Slide Hammer 100-001 (T50T-100-A), Stator and Driven Sprocket Bearing Remover 307-163 (T86P-70043-A), Adapter (part of 308-001 (T58L-101-B)), and Body (part of 308-001 (T58L-101-B)) to remove the differential bearing outer race from the transaxle case.





30. Remove the differential bearing shim from the transaxle case.

Differential Side Bearing Outer Race Removal:

31. Use Impact Slide Hammer 100-001 (T50T-100-A), Stator and Driven Sprocket Bearing Remover 307-163 (T86P-70043-A), Adapter (part of 308-001 (T58L-101-B)), and Body (part of 308-001 (T58L-101-B)) to remove the differential side bearing outer race from the torque converter housing.





32. Use Seal Remover 307-001 (TOOL-11175-AC) or equivalent and Impact Slide Hammer 100-001 (T50T-100-A) to remove the differential oil seal from the torque converter housing.





33. Remove the three differential lubricant tube bolts and clamps, then the differential lubricant tube from the torque converter housing.





34. Remove the input shaft O-ring from the input shaft. Discard the input shaft O-ring.
35. Remove the eight oil pump bolts, then lift the oil pump, oil pump baffle plate and oil pump gasket from the torque converter housing.

NOTE: The bearing race may not come out with the oil pump.





36. Remove the reverse clutch drum thrust washer and the 3-4 clutch drum bearing race from the oil pump.

NOTE: If the 3-4 clutch drum bearing race does come out with the oil pump assembly, remove the reverse clutch drum thrust washer and the 3-4 clutch drum bearing race at this time.

37. If the reverse clutch drum thrust washer and the 3-4 clutch drum bearing race are not removed with the oil pump, remove the reverse clutch drum thrust washer and 3-4 clutch drum bearing race from the reverse clutch drum.





38. While holding the band adjusting stop, loosen the band adjusting stop locknut.
39. Remove the band adjusting stop and band adjusting stop locknut.





40. Remove the 2-4 band and band strut from the transaxle case. Secure the 2-4 band with a band retaining clip or mechanic's wire.

CAUTION: To prevent damage to the 2-4 band during and after removal, do not stretch the 2-4 band unnecessarily. After removal of the 2-4 band, secure it with a band retaining clip or mechanic's wire.





41. Remove the three fourth apply piston retainer bolts, the fourth apply piston retainer and the gasket. Discard the gasket.
