DISASSEMBLY

CAUTION

• Because the automatic transmission is manufactured

from high-precision parts, sufficient care must be taken
not to scratch or damage these parts during disassem-
bly and reassembly.

• During the work, always use bare hands or vinyl

gloves. Do not use cotton gloves. Use nylon cloth or
paper towels when necessary. Do not use shop towels.

• Parts which have been disassembled should be

cleaned. Metal parts can be cleaned with normal deter-
gent, but they should be dried completely using com-
pressed air.

• Clutch discs, plastic thrust race and rubber parts

should be cleaned with ATF automatic transmission
fluid so that they do not become dirty.

• If the transmission body has been damaged, disassem-

ble and clean the cooler system also.
