Automatic Transaxle Assembly Installation

Inspect the one-way clutch.

1. Install SST onto the inner race of the one-way clutch.
   

   SST

   09350-32014(09351-32010)
   

2. Set SST so that it fits in the notch of the torque converter assembly hub and in the outer race of the one-way clutch.
   

   SST

   09350-32014(09351-32020)
   

3. With the torque converter assembly standing on its side, check that the clutch locks when SST is turned counterclockwise and rotates freely and smoothly when turned clockwise. If the results are not as specified, clean the torque converter assembly and recheck the one-way clutch. If the results still are not as specified, replace the torque converter assembly.
   

Determine the condition of the torque converter assembly.

1. Check that the following conditions are met:
   

   1. During the stall test or when the shift lever is in N, metallic sounds are not emitted from the torque converter assembly.
      
   2. The one-way clutch turns clockwise and locks when turned counterclockwise.
      
   3. The amount of powder in the ATF is not greater than the sample shown in the illustration.
      
   If the results are not as specified, replace the torque converter assembly.
   

   HINT:

   The sample illustration shows approximately 0.25 liters (0.26 US qts, 0.22 Imp. qts) of the ATF taken from a removed torque converter assembly.

Replace the ATF in the torque converter assembly.

1. If the ATF is discolored and/or has a foul odor, completely stir the ATF in the torque converter assembly and drain it.
   

Clean and check the oil cooler and oil pipe line.

1. If the torque converter assembly is inspected or the ATF is replaced, clean the oil cooler and oil lines.
   

   HINT:

   1. Spray compressed air of 196 kPa (2 kgf/cm², 28 psi) into inlet hose.
      
   2. If there is a large amount of fine powder in the ATF, add new ATF using a bucket pump and clean it again.
      

2. If the ATF is cloudy, inspect the oil cooler (radiator).
   

Avoid damaging the torque converter assembly and the oil pump gear.

1. If there is any damage to the end of the bolt for the torque converter assembly and to the bottom of the bolt hole, replace the bolt and the torque converter assembly.
   

2. All of the bolts must be the same length.
   

3. Bolts with washers must be used.
   

Using a vernier caliper and a straightedge, measure dimension "A" between the transaxle fitting surface of the engine and the torque converter assembly fitting surface of the drive plate. (#1)

Set the key of the front oil pump drive gear to the top and put a mark on the housing.

Put a mark on the torque converter assembly so that its groove can be clearly indicated.

Align the 2 marks on the transaxle case and torque converter assembly and fit the spline part of the input shaft to the spline part of the turbine runner.

Rotating the torque converter assembly, fit the spline part of the stator shaft to the spline part of the stator.

HINT:

Rotate the torque converter assembly about 180°.

Rotating the torque converter assembly, align the 2 marks on the case and the torque converter assembly again and fit the key of the oil pump drive gear into the key way of the torque converter assembly.

CAUTION:

When rotating the torque converter assembly, do not rotate it with excessive force.

Using a vernier caliper and a straightedge, measure dimension "B" shown in the illustration and check that "B" is greater than "A" (measured in step (#1)).

Standard:

A + 1 mm (0.0394 in.) or more

NOTICE:

Remember to subtract the thickness of the straightedge.
