Transaxle

1. Check fluid with engine and transaxle at normal operating temperature. With vehicle standing level and at idle, shift transaxle through all positions and return to Park.
2. Clean area around dipstick. Remove dipstick, wipe clean, insert and withdraw. Level should be between "H" and "L" marks. If level is not as indicated, add fluid as necessary.
3. Dipstick on some models may be marked with HOT and COLD ranges. Use COLD range if fluid is 86-122°F (30-50°C) and vehicle was not driven before checking level.

Note. Normal fluid should be clear with a Pink color and should not have a strong burnt odor.

1. Remove drain plug, and allow fluid to drain. Install drain plug and tighten to specification. See «TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS»(ref-17519-S40352266402001032600000) . Add fluid through fill tube.
2. Warm transaxle to normal operating temperature. Shift transaxle through all gears. Return to Park. Check fluid level. Add fluid as necessary.

GEARSHIFT LINKAGE

Note. Move shift lever through all gear positions. If each detent cannot be felt and shift lever pointer does not align with each position indicator, adjust gearshift linkage.

Move shift lever to Park. Loosen lock nuts holding shift cable housing to bracket on transaxle. Ensure transaxle is fully engaged in Park. Turn shift cable housing lock nut in direction necessary for alignment. Tighten both cable housing lock nuts. Ensure shift lever moves smoothly and without sliding noise.

NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH

1. Neutral safety switch operates back-up lights and prevents starting except in Park and Neutral. To adjust, place transaxle in Neutral. Disconnect shift cable from transaxle shift shaft lever.
2. Loosen neutral safety switch bolts. Move switch until an alignment pin can be inserted through hole in transaxle shift shaft lever and hole in neutral safety switch body. (Scheme 1) Refer to the «NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH ALIGNMENT PIN»(ref-17519-S37806125192001032600000) table. Tighten switch bolts.
3. Check continuity through starter circuit of neutral safety switch. Continuity should exist only in Park and Neutral. Reconnect shift cable and adjust as necessary. See «GEARSHIFT LINKAGE»(ref-17519-S34570326182001032600000) under ADJUSTMENTS.
