Removal Procedure
- Position the vehicle on a hoist and raise the vehicle.
- Remove the oil pan. Refer to Automatic Transmission Fluid Pan and Gasket Removal .
- Remove the oil level control valve. Pull the valve straight down. Do not pry on the valve.
- Remove the oil filter and oil filter O-ring seal. The seal may stay in the case when the filter is removed.
- Using a chisel, indent the top of the filter neck seal to relax the press fit.
- Remove the filter neck seal from the transaxle case and discard.
- Remove the intermediate/4th servo assembly bolts.
- Remove the intermediate/4th servo assembly.
Caution: Ensure that the vehicle is properly supported and squarely positioned. To help avoid personal injury when a vehicle is on a hoist, provide additional support for the vehicle on the opposite end from which the components are being removed.
Important: Do not score or damage the transaxle case when removing the filter neck seal.
Disassembly Procedure
- Remove the piston and pin assembly from the servo cover.
- Remove the snap ring from the servo pin.
- Remove the piston and the servo cushion springs from the servo pin.
- Remove the servo piston seals from the servo cover.
- Discard the servo piston seals. Do not reuse the servo piston seals.
- Inspect all components for damage.
- Inspect the fluid feed holes for obstructions.
- Inspect the bolt hole threads for debris and stripping.
- Inspect the seal grooves for damage.
- Clean and dry each component.
Assembly Procedure
- Install the servo cushion springs and the servo piston onto the servo pin.
- Install the snap ring onto the servo pin in order to retain the springs and piston.
- Install the new seals onto the servo piston and the servo cover.
- Install the servo piston assembly into the servo cover. Lubricate the piston seals with transaxle fluid in order to aid in assembly.
Installation Procedure
- Install the servo return spring into the transaxle case.
- Install the servo return spring into the transaxle case.
- Hand start and install the servo cover bolts.
- Install the new filter neck seal into the transaxle case. A large socket can be used as an installation tool. Two mallets can be used as well.
- Coat the filter O-ring with a small amount of petroleum jelly, and install the filter into the case.
- Install the oil level control valve.
- Install the oil pan. Refer to Automatic Transmission Fluid Pan and Gasket Installation .
- Lower the vehicle.
- Remove the AIR. Refer to Transmission Fluid Checking Procedure.
- Add DEXRON® VI transaxle fluid to the specified refill capacity.
- Start the engine, warm up the transaxle, and check for leaks.
- Inspect the fluid level. Refer to Transmission Fluid Check .
- Reset the TAP values. Refer to Adapt Function .
Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in the Preface section.
Important: Hand start and tighten servo cover bolts evenly to prevent damage to servo cover bore.
Tighten
Tighten the servo cover bolts to 12 N·m (9 lb ft).
Notice: Push straight down on the center of the oil level control valve in order to prevent damage to the case bore.
Specification
| • | The bottom pan removal capacity is approximately 6.5 L (6.9 qt). |
| • | The complete overhaul capacity is approximately 9 L (9.5 qt). |
| • | The dry capacity is approximately 12.2 L (12.9 qt). |
Important: It is recommended that transmission adaptive pressure (TAP) information be reset.
Resetting the TAP values using a scan tool will erase all learned values in all cells. As a result, The ECM, PCM or TCM will need to relearn TAP values. Transmission performance may be affected as new TAP values are learned.
