ISSUE:
One-way clutch two-way rotation at extended mileage, no shifts, harsh shifts, or extended shifts may be caused by oil pump body and valve body check
balls that are not in the correct location or are missing after the transaxle has been overhauled.
ACTION:
Make sure the correct number of check balls are installed in their proper location during reassembly. Refer to the transaxle model tag attached to the top
of the converter housing for model identification, Figure 1. Refer to the following check list for the correct number and location of the check balls.
