AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE

The automatic transaxle and differential assembly are

contained within a single housing.

The fluid level in the automatic transaxle should be

checked whenever the vehicle isserviced. Operation with

an improper fluid level will greatly reduce the life of the

transaxle and the fluid.

FLUID LEVEL CHECK — FOUR-CYLINDER

ENGINES

Use the following procedure to check the automatic

transaxle fluid level properly:

1. Park the vehicle on level ground.

2. Run the engine at curb idle speed for a minimum of 60

seconds.

3. Apply the parking brake fully.

4. Place the gear selector momentarily in each gear

position ending with the lever in “P” (Park).

5. Wipe the area around the dipstick clean to eliminate

the possibility of dirt entering the transaxle.

6. Remove the dipstick and determine if the fluid is hot

or cold. Hot fluid is approximately 180° F (82° C), which

is the normal operating temperature after the vehicle is

driven at least 15 miles (24 km). Hot fluid cannot be held

comfortably between the fingertips. Cold fluid is at a

temperature below 80°F (27°C).

7. Wipe the dipstickclean andreinsertuntil seated. Then,

remove dipstick and note the reading.

a. If the fluid is hot, the reading should be in the

crosshatched area marked “HOT” (between the upper

two holes in the dipstick).

b. If the fluid is cold, the fluid level should be between

the lower two holes in the area marked “COLD.”
