Transaxle has 4 forward speeds and one reverse. Transaxle consists of hydraulically actuated clutches,
mainshaft, countershaft, sub-shaft, lock-up control solenoid valves and lock-up torque converter. See Fig. 2 .
Valve assembly consists of main valve body, secondary valve body, servo body, modulator valve body, lock-up
valve body, regulator valve body and governor body. Torque converter lock-up is controlled by the lock-up
control solenoid valves. The lock-up control solenoid valves are controlled by the Engine Control Module
(ECM).

Shift lever has 7 positions. When shift lever is moved, manual valve on main valve body is moved by the shift
cable. When certain transaxle gear combinations are engaged by clutches, power is transmitted from the
mainshaft to the countershaft through the sub-shaft shaft to provide different gears. Shift lever positions operate
as follows:

"P" (Park) Front wheels locked as parking pawl engages with parking gear on countershaft. All clutches
are released. Neutral position switch, incorporated in A/T gear position switch, allows engine starting in
this position.
"R" (Reverse) Reverse selector engages with countershaft reverse gear and 4th clutch is applied. Back-up
light switch, incorporated in A/T gear position switch, allows back-up lights to be operated.
"N" (Neutral) All clutches are released. Neutral position switch, incorporated in A/T gear position switch,
allows engine starting in this position.
"D4" (Drive/4th) Transaxle starts in 1st gear and upshifts automatically to 2nd, 3rd and 4th gears.
Transaxle will downshift through 3rd, 2nd and 1st gears until vehicle stops. When in 2nd, 3rd or 4th gear
in this range, torque converter lock-up will operate through signal delivered from ECM.
"D" (Drive/3rd) Transaxle starts off in 1st gear and upshifts automatically to 2nd gear and 3rd gear. On
deceleration, transaxle will downshift through 2nd gear to 1st gear. When in 3rd gear in this range, torque
converter lock-up will operate through signal delivered from ECM.
"2" (Second) Transaxle starts off and remains in 2nd gear for engine braking and better traction.
"1" (First) Transaxle starts off and remains in 1st gear for engine braking.

When in "D4", 2nd, 3rd and 4th gears, or "D" 3rd gear, torque converter lock-up exists and transaxle mainshaft
rotates at the same speed as engine crankshaft. Under certain conditions, torque converter lock-up clutch is
applied during deceleration when in 2nd, 3rd and 4th gears. Torque converter lock-up is controlled by the ECM.
The ECM receives various input signals and operates lock-up control solenoid valves. Operation of lock-up
control solenoid valves controls the modulator pressure.

The ECM contains a self-diagnostic system, which will store fault code if failure or problem exists in lock-up
control solenoid valve or wiring circuit. Fault code can be retrieved to determine transaxle problem area. For
information on lock-up control solenoid valve controls, see appropriate ELECTRONIC CONTROLS article.

Transaxle is equipped with shift and key interlock systems. Shift interlock system prevents shift lever from
being moved from "P" position unless brake pedal is depressed and accelerator is in idle position. In case of a
malfunction, shift lever can be released by placing ignition key in release slot near shift lever. Key interlock
system prevents ignition key from being removed from ignition switch unless shift lever is in "P" position. For
additional information on interlock systems, see appropriate ELECTRONIC CONTROLS article.

The A/T gear position indicator on instrument panel contains lights to indicate which position A/T gear position
switch on shift lever is in. For information and testing of A/T gear position indicator, see appropriate
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS DIAGNOSIS article.

LUBRICATION

AXLE SHAFTS

See appropriate AXLE SHAFTS article in DRIVELINE/AXLES.

OIL COOLER FLUSHING

1. Attach Oil Cooler Flusher (J38405-A) to oil cooler lines. See Fig. 3 . Fill oil cooler flusher tank 2/3 full
with Flushing Fluid (J35944-20). DO NOT use any other flushing fluid.
2. Ensure water and air valves on oil cooler flusher are off. Apply 80-120 psi (550-829 kPa) air pressure to
oil cooler flusher. Turn oil cooler flusher water valve on so water will flow through oil cooler for 10
seconds. Replace oil cooler if water will not flow through oil cooler. Shut water valve off.
3. Depress and hold mixing trigger on oil cooler flusher downward. Turn water valve on and flush oil cooler
for 2 minutes. Turn air valve on for 5 seconds every 15-20 seconds to create a surging action. Turn water
valve off. Release mixing trigger.
4. Disconnect oil cooler flusher and reverse hoses so oil cooler can be flushed in opposite direction. Repeat
steps 2) and 3).
5. Turn water valve on. Rinse oil cooler for at least one minute. Once oil cooler is flushed in both directions,
turn water off. Turn air valve on for 2 minutes or until no moisture is visible from drain hose.

CAUTION: Ensure no moisture exists in oil cooler, as moisture can damage


transaxle.

6. Turn air off. Disconnect oil cooler flusher. Reconnect inlet line on oil cooler. Once transaxle is installed,
attach drain hose on return line and place in oil container. Ensure transaxle is in "P" position. Fill
transaxle with ATF.
7. Start engine and operate for approximately 30 seconds or until one quart (.9L) of ATF is discharged from
return line. Shut engine off. Remove drain hose. Reinstall return line. Fill transaxle to proper level.

NOTE: The following procedure should be used when servicing valves and valve
bodies after disassembly.

1. Clean components with solvent and dry with compressed air. Replace valve body as an assembly if any
parts are worn or damaged.
2. Ensure all valves slide freely in their bores. If valves do not slide freely, polish burrs or rough areas using
No. 600 sandpaper soaked in ATF for at least 30 minutes. Sandpaper can be rolled into a tube shape for
deburring valve bores. Thoroughly clean main valve body and components if polishing was needed.
3. Ensure spring free length is within specification. See SPRING SPECIFICATIONS table. Replace
springs if not within specification.

CAUTION: When disassembling main valve body, place components in order and
mark spring locations for reassembly reference. DO NOT use force to
remove components. DO NOT use magnet to remove check balls, as check
balls may become magnetized. Note direction of valve cap installation
before removing from main valve body.

Disassembly

Disassemble main valve body. See Fig. 13 . Use care when removing valve covers, valve cap or spring seats, as
they are under spring pressure.

NOTE: Oil pump clearance must be checked in main valve body. See OIL PUMP under
COMPONENT DISASSEMBLY & REASSEMBLY.
