Automatic transmission overhaul – general information

In the event of a fault occurring, it will be necessary to establish whether the fault is elec­trical, mechanical or hydraulic in nature, before repair work can be contemplated. Diagnosis requires detailed knowledge of the transmis­sion’s operation and construction, as well as access to specialized test equipment, and so is beyond the scope of this manual. It is essential that problems with the automatic transmission are referred to a dealer service department or other qualified repair facility for assessment.

Note that a faulty transmission should not be removed before the vehicle has been assessed by a knowledgeable technician equipped with the proper tools, as trouble­shooting must be performed with the trans­mission installed in the vehicle.
