  2. Observe the color and the odor. The color under normal circumstances should be reddish, not brown or black.
  3. Allow the fluid to drip onto a facial tissue and examine the stain.
  4. If evidence of solid material is found, the transaxle fluid pan should be removed for further inspection.
  5. If fluid contamination or transaxle failure is confirmed by the sediment in the bottom of the transaxle fluid pan, the transaxle must be disassembled and completely cleaned.
  6. Carry out diagnostic checks and adjustments. Refer to DIAGNOSIS BY SYMPTOM  in this article.
