Toyota Camry
XV30 (2002–2006) Service Manual
Automatic transmission / trans
Automatic transaxle assy (ATM)
PRECAUTION
- The automatic transaxle is composed of highly precision−finished
parts which need careful inspection
before reassembly because even a small nick could cause fluid leakage or
affect the
performance. The instructions here are organized in order to work on only
one component
group at a time. This will help avoid confusion which comes from
similar−looking parts of different
sub−assemblies being on your workbench at the same time. Inspect and repair
the component
groups from the converter housing side. Complete the inspection, repair and
reassembly
before proceeding to the next component group. If a defect is found in a
certain component
group during reassembly, inspect and repair this group immediately. If a
component group cannot
be assembled because the necessary parts are being ordered, be sure to keep
all the parts
of the group in a separate container while proceeding with disassembly,
inspection, repair and
reassembly of the other component groups.
Recommended ATF: T−IV
- All the disassembled parts should be washed clean and any fluid
passages and holes should
be blown through with compressed air.
- Dry all parts with compressed air. Never use shop rags to dry them.
- Be careful of ATF or kerosene not to be sprayed over your face when
using compressed air.
- The recommended automatic transaxle fluid or kerosene should be used
for cleaning.
- After cleaning, the parts should be arranged in the correct order for
efficient inspection, repair,
and reassembly.
- When disassembling the valve body, be sure to match each valve
together with the corresponding
spring.
- New discs for the replacement of the brakes and clutches must be
soaked in ATF for at least
15 minutes before reassembly.
- All the oil seal rings, clutch discs, clutch plates, rotating parts,
and sliding surfaces should be
coated with ATF prior to reassembly.
- Replace all the gaskets and rubber O−rings.
- Do not apply adhesive cements to the gaskets and similar parts.
- Make sure that the ends of the snap ring are not aligned with
one of the cutouts and are installed
in the groove correctly.
- If a worn bushing is to be replaced, the sub−assembly containing the
bushing must also be replaced.
- Check the thrust bearings and races for wear or damage. Replace them
as necessary.
- Use petroleum jelly to keep the parts in place.
- When working with FIPG material, you must follow the procedure below.
- Remove all the old packing (FIPG) material from the gasket surface
using a razor blade and a
gasket scraper.
- Thoroughly clean all the components to remove all the loose material.
- Clean both the sealing surfaces with non−residue solvent.
- Parts must be reassembled within 10 minutes of application.
Otherwise, the packing (FIPG) material
must be removed and reapplied.
