Disassembly
| CAUTION | If, during repair work, abrasive particles are found in the transaxle fluid (particles from the clutch or metal chips or foreign material), the transaxle must be disassembled completely and thoroughly cleaned. Also, clean the fluid pipes, fluid cooler and torque converter carefully. In the case of extreme soiling of the fluid pipes, install a new fluid cooler and torque converter. |
Note. In case of clutch abrasion, rinse the torque converter with clean automatic transmission fluid.
