Galant L4-2350cc 2.4L SOHC (1985)

If hard shift symptoms are exhibited, remove the servo piston assembly from the transaxle and check the piston bore (transaxle case) for wear (Figure 2).
If the bore wear is less than 0.023 in. (0.5 mm), the hard shift symptoms can be improved by installing a D-ring repair kit (P/N MD728665). This kit
contains a rubber piston seal ring instead of the carbon material seal ring installed at the factory (Figure 3).
If the piston bore wear is greater than 0.023 in. (0.5 mm), the transaxle case must be replaced using a new carbon material servo piston seal ring (P/N
MD727999).
