Intermediate Servo

Disassembly & Inspection

Fig. 79, Intermediate servo exploded view:

1. Remove E-ring from apply pin, then separate intermediate servo piston, cushion, spring, spring retainer and apply ring, Fig. 79.
2. Inspect orifice cup plug in intermediate bore.
3. Inspect apply pin for damage and free fit in bore.
4. Inspect apply pin seal ring and both piston seal rings for damage and free fit in their grooves. Do not remove seal rings unless replacing.
5. Inspect cushion spring and retainer for damage.
6. Inspect servo cover and piston assembly for porosity or damage.
7. Check for proper intermediate band apply pin as described under "DISASSEMBLY, External Components".

Assembly & Installation
1. Install spring retainer onto small diameter end of apply pin, then install spring on retainer.
2. Install piston with larger diameter end first, then compress spring and install E-ring.

3. If removed, install new seal rings. Make sure cut ends are installed in same relationship as cut, Fig. 59. Make sure rings are properly seated in their grooves.
4. If removed, install intermediate bands apply pin seal ring. Make sure seal ring is seated in its groove.

Fig. 3, Exploded view of intermediate servo assembly:

5. Install 3rd accumulator check valve, Fig. 5, then install intermediate servo piston assembly, Fig. 3. If transaxle had a 3rd accumulator cup plug, and it was removed, do not reinstall. Replace servo cover and gasket with replacement type which takes place of cup plug.
6. Install intermediate servo cover gasket, servo cover, three cover retaining screws and the oil pipe retainer bracket and screw. Refer to "Torque Specifications Chart" for torque values.
