- Remove the 18 bolts, oil pan and gasket.
Notice:
Some fluid will remain in the oil pan. Carefully
remove the oil pan.
- Remove the 3 magnets from the oil pan.
- Examine particles in the pan.

- Use the removed magnets to collect any steel
chips. Look carefully at the chips and particles
in the pan and on the magnet to anticipate what
type of wear you will find in the transaxle.
Steel (magnetic): bearing, gear and plate wear
brass (non-magnetic): bush wear

- Measure the resistance of the transmission wire.
Standard resistance 
Hint:
If the resistance is not as specified for either of the
atf temperatures shown in the table below, the
driveability of the vehicle may decrease.
Standard resistance
