Inspection
Do not apply impact to the solenoid.
Do not damage the terminals.
3-way solenoid (S1,S2)
1.
Remove the side cover.
2.
Remove the 3-way solenoid (S1, S2).
Do not apply impact to the solenoid.
3.
With a tester, measure the resistance between the solenoid terminal and solenoid body.

SPEC: 11~15Ω (at 20°C [68°F])

4.
Check that solenoid operates when connecting the battery positive terminal to the solenoid terminal and the battery negative terminal to the solenoid body.
Shift control solenoid (SLC1, SLC2, SLC3, SLB1)
1.
Remove the side cover.
2.
Remove the shift control solenoid. (SLC1,SLC2, SLC3, SLB1)
The shift pressure control valve and the spring may be taken off when removing the solenoid.
Do not apply impact to the solenoid.
3.
With a tester, measure the resistance between terminal 1 and terminal 2 of each solenoid.

SPEC: 5.0~5.6Ω (at 20°C [68°F])

4.
Connect the battery positive terminal to each terminal 1 of the solenoid via a bulb (12-21W), and then check that each solenoid operates when connecting the battery negative terminal to terminal 2.
Removal
1.
Drain the oil by removing the overflow plug and the O-ring using a torx wrench (T40), and the drain plug (A) and the gasket by using a hexagon wrench (17mm).

2.
Disconnect the oil cooler hoses from the tubes.
3.
Remove the 2 bolts to remove the oil cooler tubes (A) and the O-rings.

4.
Using a torx wrench, remove the 12 seal bolts. Using a plastic hammer, tap the transaxle side cover to remove it.
Be careful not to damage the fitting surface of the transaxle case and the transaxle side cover.
Be careful not to deform the transaxle side cover.

5.
Disconnect the 8 solenoid connectors and the 2 speed sensor connectors. Disconnect the wire from the 2 clamps.

6.
Remove the bolt and the lock plate, and pull out the oil temperature sensor (A) and the O-ring from the valve body assembly.

7.
Fix the wire with tape to the transaxle case as shown in the figure.
Be sure to secure the wire with tape so that it will not interfere with the valve body assembly.

8.
Remove the 2 speed sensor wires (A) from the solenoid clamp.

9.
Fix the 2 speed sensor wires with tape to the transaxle case as shown in the figure.
Be sure to secure the 2 speed sensor wires with tape so that they will not interfere with the valve body assembly.

10.
Remove the 2 bolts to remove the suction cover (A) and the gasket.

11.
Remove the 6 bolts as shown in the figure.

12.
Disconnect the manual valve link (A) and remove the valve body assembly.
Be careful not to drop the valve body assembly.

Installation
1.
Connect the manual valve link (A) and install the valve body assembly.
When installing the valve body assembly, be sure to put the wire in the open space of the separate plate in the valve body assembly.
Do not pinch the wire between the separate plate and the valve body assembly.

2.
Temporarily install the valve body assembly with the 6 bolts.

Bolt size :
(5) :M6x1.0x31mm
(4) :M6x1.0x21mm
(2) :M6x1.0x17mm

Aligning the bolt holes, temporarily tighten the 6 bolts by hand.

3.
Temporarily install the suction cover (A) and a new gasket with the 2 bolts.

Bolt size (6) : M6x1.0x41mm

4.
Tighten the 8 bolts in the order shown in the figure.

Tightening torque :
8-12Nm (0.8-1.2kgf.m, 5.8-8.7lb-ft)

5.
Install the connectors of the 2 speed sensor wires (A) to the solenoid clamp.

Install sensor as instructed as shown figure so that speed sensor wires cannot be stuck to solenoid.

6.
Coat the new "O" ring with ATF, and install it to the oil temperature sensor.

O-ring size: inner dia.-11.57mm, thickness-1.98mm

7.
Install the oil temperature sensor (A) with the lock plate and the bolt to the valve body assembly as shown in the figure.

Tightening torque : 8-12Nm (0.8-1.2kgf.m, 5.8-8.7lb-ft)
Bolt size (1) : M6x1.0x12mm

8.
Connect the 8 solenoid connectors and the 2 speed sensor connectors, and the T/M wire to the 2 clamps.

9.
Clean oil off the contact surface of the new transaxle side cover with the transaxle case.
Completely remove oil with white gasoline or similar products.
10.
Apply sealant (FIPG) to the new transaxle side cover.
11.
Install the transaxle side cover with 12 new seal bolts.

Tightening torque :
10-16Nm (1.0-1.6kgf.m, 7.2-11.6lb-ft)
Bolt size (7) : M8x1.25x15.5mm (Seal bolt)

12.
Coat the new O-rings with ATF, and install it to the oil cooler tubes (A). Install the oil cooler tubes with the 2 bolts.

O-ring size: inner dia.-11.6mm, thickness-2.35mm
Tightening torque :
20-30Nm (2.0-3.0kgf.m, 14.5-21.7lb-ft)
