♦ Thoroughly clean connection points and the
surrounding area before disconnecting.
♦ Place removed parts down on a clean sur-
face and cover over. Use sheeting and pa-
per. Do not use fluffing cloths!
♦ Carefully cover over or seal opened compo-
nents if repairs are not carried out immedi-
ately.
♦ Install only clean parts: Do not remove re-
placement parts from their wrapping until just
before installing.
♦ Always replace O-rings, seals and gaskets.
♦ Coat O-rings with ATF for inserting in order
to avoid the ring being squeezed.
♦ It is not allowed to use any other lubricants
in the ATF area otherwise there is a risk of
operational problems in the hydraulic gear-
box control.
♦ If scorching of the shift elements is present,
it is necessary to clean the gearbox. Use only
cleaning petroleum for this purpose. Other
cleaning products may contain aggressive
substances which could have a negative ef-
fect on certain components.
♦ After installation, inspect ATF level in the
planetary gear and adjust to correct level if
necessary ⇒ page 37-22, and inspect oil
level (ATF) in final drive ⇒ page 39-1, re-
spectively.
