Automatic transaxle
Four-cylinder engine models are equipped with either the U250E, 5-speed transaxle (2009 and earlier models), or the U760E, 6-speed transaxle (2010 and later models). Models with V6 engines are equipped with the U660E 6-speed transaxles. The transaxles vary in fluid capacity, bearing and gear size to compensate for the engine horsepower and torque. Information on the automatic transaxle is included in this Part of Chapter 7. Service procedures for the manual transaxles are contained in Chapter Manual transaxle.
Due to the complexity of the automatic transaxles covered in this manual and to the specialized equipment necessary to perform most service operations, this Chapter con- tains only those procedures related to general diagnosis, routine maintenance, adjustment and removal and installation.
If the transaxle requires major repair work, it should be left to a dealer service department or an automotive or transmission shop. You can, however, remove and install the transaxle yourself and save the expense, even if a transmission shop does the repair work.
