2004.5 Spectra Technology
Manual Transaxle (M/T) is standard equipment on the
MANUAL TRANSAXLE
2004.5 Spectra. This is a new 5 speed with OD to the
Kia M/T family.
The manual transaxle identification (ID) plate location
is shown above. To interpret the manual transaxle ID
plate character, use the following:
1: J = F5BF2 model
2: 4 or 5 = 2004 or 2005 production year
3-4: 20 = Output shaft gear tooth number
5-6: 73 = Differential drive gear tooth number
7-12: Production sequence number
The clutch is a hydraulically activated type. Due to the
new shape of the clutch disc and crankshaft pilot
bearing, a new clutch disc alignment tool is required. A
clutch disc alignment SST has been sent to your dealer.
The recommended maintenance under normal driving
conditions includes inspecting the oil level every
24,000 miles and replace if the oil is contaminated or
dirty. Under severe driving conditions the motor oil
recommended replacement is every 60,000 miles.
