Case: Testing and Inspection

1. After component removal, clean the transaxle case and converter housing with mineral spirits, or use a high pressure steam cleaner to remove any internal or external grease, oil or dirt.
2. Inspect all press fit bearing races for pitting, scoring or other types of damage. If any races must be replaced the mating bearing must be replaced as well.
3. Check the threads of any threaded bolt holes. All damaged threads must be repaired prior to assembly of the transaxle.
4. Inspect all snap ring grooves for any damage to the slot into which the snap ring seats.
5. Check the transaxle case where the low one-way clutch notches into it. Look for broken notches or other types of damage.
6. Check case mating surfaces for nicks or deformation. Look for cracks in the housings, and broken or cracked ears on the bell housing where it bolts to the engine.
