Automatic Transmissions and Transaxles, Fourth Edition By Tom Birch and Chuck Rockwood © 2010 Pearson Higher Education, Inc. Pearson Prentice Hall - Upper Saddle River, NJ 07458 OBJECTIVES After studying Chapter 18, the reader should be able to: 1.Disassemble and reassemble automatic transmission subassemblies. 2.Determine if used subassemblies and their components are usable. 3.Complete the ASE tasks related to off-vehicle transmission/transaxle repair.

Automatic Transmissions and Transaxles, Fourth Edition By Tom Birch and Chuck Rockwood © 2010 Pearson Higher Education, Inc. Pearson Prentice Hall - Upper Saddle River, NJ 07458 SUBASSEMBLY REPAIR Inspection, service, and repair operations are done to each of the transmission subassemblies as part of the transmission overhaul. These subassemblies include the case, pump, clutch assemblies, gearset, valve body, and governor. Subassembly repair ensures that each component is serviceable and will work properly when the transmission is assembled.

Automatic Transmissions and Transaxles, Fourth Edition By Tom Birch and Chuck Rockwood © 2010 Pearson Higher Education, Inc. Pearson Prentice Hall - Upper Saddle River, NJ 07458 CASE INSPECTION Several areas of the case should be checked or serviced after it has been cleaned. These include the bushings, all fluid passages, the valve body worm tracks (grooves for the valve body fluid flow), all bolt threads, the clutch plate lugs, and the governor bore.

Pearson Prentice Hall - Upper Saddle River, NJ 07458 CASE INSPECTION FIGURE 18-1 This tool is designed to attach to the rear of an E4OD or C6 case. It guides a reamer that will cut the damaged bore to a larger diameter; an oversized bushing is then used to repair the case and a more durable bushing is installed. (Courtesy of Sonnax)

Automatic Transmissions and Transaxles, Fourth Edition By Tom Birch and Chuck Rockwood © 2010 Pearson Higher Education, Inc. Pearson Prentice Hall - Upper Saddle River, NJ 07458 TECH TIP Some technicians draw file the valve body area using a 16-in., single-cut file as standard practice. To draw file a case, place the case with the worm tracks upward, lay the file flat, grip each end of the file, and draw the file sideways across the case. FIGURE 18-2 A flat, smooth file is being drawn (moved in the direction of the arrow) across the valve body area of a case to smooth out any dings or warpage.

Automatic Transmissions and Transaxles, Fourth Edition By Tom Birch and Chuck Rockwood © 2010 Pearson Higher Education, Inc. Pearson Prentice Hall - Upper Saddle River, NJ 07458 TECH TIP If a low-mileage transmission has failed because of a burned clutch or band you should check for pressure loss and cross leaks. FIGURE 18-3 This worm track (arrow) has been closed off and filled with ATF to check for a suspected leak (a). The low-reverse clutch failed because of a pressure loss through a crack (circled) (b). It was found by watching ATF leak out of the crack.

Automatic Transmissions and Transaxles, Fourth Edition By Tom Birch and Chuck Rockwood © 2010 Pearson Higher Education, Inc. Pearson Prentice Hall - Upper Saddle River, NJ 07458 CASE INSPECTION FIGURE 18-4 This case shows wear in the area where the lowreverse clutch plates contact the lugs. This case is still usable, but excessive wear might hamper proper clutch apply and release.

Automatic Transmissions and Transaxles, Fourth Edition By Tom Birch and Chuck Rockwood © 2010 Pearson Higher Education, Inc. Pearson Prentice Hall - Upper Saddle River, NJ 07458 TECH TIP The governor bore size can be checked by placing the governor into its bore and filling the passages with ATF. FIGURE 18-5 Governor bore wear is checked by placing the case on its back (a); inserting the test tool into the governor bore (b); filling the passage with ATF (c); and seeing how long it takes for the fluid to leak down to point A.

Automatic Transmissions and Transaxles, Fourth Edition By Tom Birch and Chuck Rockwood © 2010 Pearson Higher Education, Inc. Pearson Prentice Hall - Upper Saddle River, NJ 07458 TECH TIP Minor scores in a governor bore can be cleaned using a small cylinder hone. FIGURE 18-6 A small cylinder hone dipped in ATF can be used to smooth out minor scores in a governor bore. It should be turned by hand. Power tools should not be used.

Automatic Transmissions and Transaxles, Fourth Edition By Tom Birch and Chuck Rockwood © 2010 Pearson Higher Education, Inc. Pearson Prentice Hall - Upper Saddle River, NJ 07458 TECH TIP Some transmissions develop a fluid leak around the shift shaft because of a worn bore. A repair kit has been developed that includes a reamer, reamer guide, repair sleeve, and retaining pins FIGURE 18-7 An A4LD tends to wear the manual shift linkage bore and leak fluid. The case can be repaired by reaming the bore oversize and installing a repair sleeve. (Courtesy of Sonnax)

Automatic Transmissions and Transaxles, Fourth Edition By Tom Birch and Chuck Rockwood © 2010 Pearson Higher Education, Inc. Pearson Prentice Hall - Upper Saddle River, NJ 07458 TECH TIP If the selective parts do not correct the clearance or are not available, clutch clearance can be reduced by using extra-thick steel plates or adding an extra unlined steel or lined friction plate. FIGURE 18-35 Clutch clearance can be reduced by adding an extra unlined plate (a and b) or lined plate (c). If two lined plates are next to each other as in c, clearance can be increased by shaving the lining off one or both adjacent sides of the two lined plates.

Automatic Transmissions and Transaxles, Fourth Edition By Tom Birch and Chuck Rockwood © 2010 Pearson Higher Education, Inc. Pearson Prentice Hall - Upper Saddle River, NJ 07458 TECH TIP Most technicians air check a clutch as soon as it is assembled. When air pressure is applied to the clutch, the piston should stroke, squeeze the clutch together, and not leak FIGURE 18-36 Air pressure is applied to the shaft clutch apply port (a) to apply and air test the clutch piston. The amount of piston stroke and clutch pack clearance are measured using a dial indicator. The special service tool (SST) allows the dial indicator to reach the piston.

Automatic Transmissions and Transaxles, Fourth Edition By Tom Birch and Chuck Rockwood © 2010 Pearson Higher Education, Inc. Pearson Prentice Hall - Upper Saddle River, NJ 07458 VALVE BODY SERVICE Despite its complexity, the valve body is one of the more reliable parts in a transmission, probably because the valves are so well lubricated. In a way, valves do little, as they move only slightly and only once in a while. Most valve body service operations consist of disassembly, cleaning, checking for free movement, reassembly, and in a few transmissions, adjusting the pressure regulator valve
