Precaution
General notes

•

The oil pan could contain small chips, shavings, and other particles which may be helpful in inspecting the
condition of the transaxle and diagnosing certrain problems.
To ensure that all foreign particles stay in the oil pan, make sure that the transaxle is never tipped completely
over while the oil pan is still installed.

1. Disassemble the transaxle in a clean area (dustproof work space) to prevent entry of dust into the

mechanisms.

2. Inspect the individual transaxle components in accordance with the QUICK DIAGNOSIS CHART during

disassembly.

3. Use only plastic hammers when applying force to separate the light alloy case joints.
4. Never use rags during disassembly; they may leave particles that can clog fluid passage.
5. Several parts resemble one another; arrange them so that they do not get mixed up.
6. Disassemble the control valve component and thoroughly clean it when the clutch or brake band has

burned or when the ATF has degenerated.

Warning

••••

Although the stand has a self-locking brake system, there is a possibility that the brake may not
hold when the transaxle is held in a lopsided position on the stand. This would cause the transaxle
to turn suddenly, causing serious injury. Never keep the transaxle tilted to one side. Always hold
the rotating handle firmly when turning the transaxle.
