Automatic transmission disassembly should be carried out in a place protected from dust. When disassembling, it is necessary to check the condition of the parts for wear and damage.

Only plastic hammers should be used to separate the crankcase parts

Do not use rags when disassembling: rag fibers can clog the fluid channels. Some parts are similar to each other, so when disassembling, arrange them so as not to mix them up.

If the clutch or brake band is burnt or the quality of the fluid in the box has deteriorated, then it is imperative to clean the valve block.

Before disassembling, you need to clean the outer surface of the box with a cleaner or solvent.

You need to clean the removed parts with a solvent and dry them with compressed air.

We install the gearbox on a special stand or workbench.
