Before the completion of the transaxle assembly procedure and before installing
the valve body, an air test should be performed to determine the condition of the
seals in the clutch and brake pistons. Using a rubber tip air nozzle, apply
regulated 482 kPa (70 psi) shop air into the ports shown for each clutch or brake.
ROAD TEST
Prior to performing a road test, verify that the fluid level, fluid condition, and
linkage adjustment have been verified.
During the road test, the transaxle should be operated in each position to check
for slipping and any variation in shifting.
If the vehicle operates properly at highway speeds, but has poor acceleration, the
converter stator overrunning clutch may be slipping. If acceleration is normal,
but high throttle opening is needed to maintain highway speeds, the converter
stator clutch may have seized. Both of these stator defects require replacement of
the torque converter and thorough transaxle cleaning.
Slipping clutches can be isolated by comparing the "Elements in Use" chart with
clutch operation encountered on a road test. This chart identifies which clutches
cardiagn.com
are applied at each position of the selector lever.
A slipping clutch may also set a DTC and can be determined by operating the
transaxle in all selector positions.

6F24 POWER FLOW
Hydraulic power flow is controlled by the TCM and the solenoids attached to the
valve body. The TCM toggles control voltage or ground on and off in a duty
cardiagn.com
cycle to regulate the line pressure flowing through the valve body. The lower the
duty cycle percentage is the higher the line pressure. The pressure can be
measured with (special tool #10424, Adapter, Transmission Pressure) and
(special tool #C-3293-SP, Gauge, Pressure 0-300 P.S.I.).

TRANS RANGE SENSOR (TRS)
The Trans Range Sensor (TRS) provides data to the Transmission Control
Module (TCM) and other ECUs about the gear range that has been selected by
the operator. The TRS also indicates from which direction the range selector was
moved to obtain the current gear position. The accompanying table provides an
overview of how the sensor sends Closed (1) or Open (0) signals to indicate the
range the gear selector just left and the current position the gear selector is in.
The TRS also functions as a neutral safety switch to inhibit the starter if the
transaxle is not in Park or Neutral. The TRS also functions as a reverse lamp
switch and will signal the Body Control Module (BCM) to turn on the back-up
lamps when the transaxle is shifted into reverse.

FLUID LEAK DETECTION - AWD
The following procedure is for detecting transaxle fluid leaks from the area
between the transaxle and the Power Transfer Unit (PTU). When transaxle fluid
is leaking form the weep hole in the area of the PTU, the seals around the
differential output shaft and the differential side gear is most likely faulty. The
large seal around the differential output shaft is serviceable without removing the
transaxle. The seal around the inner differential side gear is serviceable after the
differential unit is removed from the transaxle. The following procedure is
recommended to determine which seal is leaking.
cardiagn.com
1. Disconnect the transaxle vent tube from the adaptor nipple on the top of the
valve body pan.
2. Adapt a compressed shop air coupling and a length neoprene hose onto the
vent nipple.
3. Attach a 48 kPa (7 psi) regulated shop air source to the air coupling on the
vent nipple.
4. Raise the vehicle on a suitable hoist.
5. Remove the PTU from the vehicle. Refer to REMOVAL .
6. Apply a soapy solution to the seals inside and around the differential output
shaft.
7. Observe over several minutes to see if air bubbles form in the leak area.
Test Results
If bubbles are emanating from the inner differential side gear seal, remove
the differential unit and replace the inner seal.
If bubbles are emanating from the outer output shaft seal, replace the seal.
If bubbles are emanating from the transaxle housing casting, replace the
porous component.

VALVE BODY
DESCRIPTION
The valve body is the device that controls the hydraulic power flow to the
clutches and brakes within the 6F24 Automatic Transaxle. The valve body is
equipped with on-off and variable force solenoids the are electrically controlled
by the PCM. If the transaxle passes an air pressure test and is relatively clean, the
transaxle should be OK and the valve body is most likely at fault. All of the
valve body internal components must be a able to travel freely within there bores
and cylinders. Any dirt or debris within the valve body can cause a valve or
piston to bind and fail to function. The valve body valves are somewhat self
cleaning. The leading edges of the valve chambers are ground sharply to cut
through soft debris and allows the valve to function. The strainers and screen in
cardiagn.com
the valve body are designed to filter out dirt and debris as the fluid circulates
through the hydraulic passages. If a valve or piston is deeply scratched and can
be felt with a fingernail the valve body or transaxle must be replaced depending
on parts availability.

DISASSEMBLY
DISASSEMBLY
The 3-5-Reverse (3-5-R) Clutch is located under the fluid pump, in the center of
the input shaft, inside of the 2-6 brake discs and plates. The clutch includes a
retainer and shaft, selective snap-ring, five discs, five plates, reaction plate,
balance piston, bellville return spring, and a piston. The 3-5-R clutch balance
piston is equipped with a integral seal that cannot be replaced. If the seal is faulty
the balance piston must be replaced. The 3-5-R clutch piston is equipped with
and inner and outer D-ring seals. The 3-5-R clutch has a series of alternating
steel plates separated by fiber discs. When applied it drives the 2-6 brake discs
and the overdrive clutch hub. The free play of the 3-5-R clutch is controlled by a
select snap-ring that the thickness can be changed to tighten or loosen the clutch.
Refer to SPECIFICATIONS.
1. Remove the transaxle. Refer to REMOVAL.
2. Disassemble the transaxle to gain access to the 3-5-R clutch. Refer to
