Automatic Transaxle Disassembly/Assembly Precaution

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. Handle electronic parts with care
    • Do not pull the wiring harness forcibly when disconnecting the connector. Unlock the lock first and pull the connector.
    • When connecting the connector, verify to insert it until it is properly locked. (Verify that a click sound is heard.)
    • Do not shock electronic parts. Replace with new parts if they have been dropped or subjected to shock.
  2. Prevent foreign matter from penetrating
    • Be sure to remove foreign matter such as dust and sand from the transaxle before removing parts.
    • Protect removed parts from dust with an object such as a vinyl sheet.
    • Do not use cotton work gloves or shop rags as frayed strings might get caught in the unit. Thus work with bare hands or use vinyl gloves.
  3. Prevent scratching
    • Do not pry with a flathead screwdriver forcibly. Slightly hit the case with a plastic hammer when separating component cases at seams.
    • Do not pull the valve forcibly.
    • Be careful not to get the wire harness caught between parts during installation.
  4. Prevent incorrect installation and lack of or missing parts
    • Be careful not to install parts incorrectly or lose parts since there are similar types of O-rings, snap rings, bearings and races. Take great care for straightening parts and checking installation direction.
    • Be careful not to drop small parts such as check balls or lose them during installation.
  5. Wash parts and apply oil
    • Wash each part before installing and dry using compressed air, and then apply the specified ATF type Mazda Genuine JWS3309.
    • Soak disks in ATF type Mazda Genuine JWS3309 before installing. In particular, soak new disks for 2 h or more  so that the oil seeps into the lining.
    • If the thrust bearing or race falls during installation, use a small amount of yellow petrolatum grease.
    • Apply ATF type Mazda Genuine JWS3309 to contact and rotating surfaces.
    • Do not apply oil or drive the vehicle immediately after installing a part applied with sealant. Leave it for one hour or more.
    • Do not wash aluminum parts or rubber parts with alkaline chemicals.
    • Do not wash the rubber parts with white gasoline.
  6. Handling ATF with care
    • If you spill ATF on the floor, wipe it off immediately, as it is quite slippery and dangerous.
    • Be sure to use Mazda Genuine JWS3309 type ATF.
