A/T - Bind-Up In Reverse, Shifts 1-3, No Manual L2

TSB 86 - 55 (Nov)

SUBJECT: SUBARU M 41A

PROBLEM:
After overhaul - bind-up in reverse, shifts 1-3, no manual L2

CAUSE:
Both servo tubes incorrectly installed (reversed). Servo is applying intermediate band in reverse range, and exhausting fluid in intermediate range.





CURE:
Install tubes correctly. Identify tubes during teardown to avoid inter-mix. Tubes are close fit either way, but only one way allows correct transmission performance. The shortest tube from servo exhaust to rearmost port in the valve body. The longest tube to servo apply from the farthest forward valve body port (closest to radiator). See figure.
