"TRANSELF TRX and TRZ" oils are high technology products and certain precautions must be taken in order to prevent the entry of water which, even in very small quantities, will reduce the quality of the oil and result in seizure of the gearbox or of the final drive. STORAGE AND USE
Special care must be taken to ensure that open cans are sealed correctly in order to prevent the entry of materials or water. In particular: Storing oil cans The cans must be stored: - sheltered from bad weather (rain, snow, outside splashes), - in a dry area (avoid storing in the vicinity of a washing area), - tightly sealed. Storing units (gearbox or final drive) When storing a gearbox or final drive which has not been drained, close the air inlets. Store the unit in a dry area. Using the oil The oil cans must be resealed each time they have been used. In order to prevent a large surface area of the oil coming into contact with the air, do not transfer the oil into a larger container. When carrying out work which requires draining of the gearbox, the oil must be replaced with new oil. The oil can must be shaken before refilling the gearbox, especially if the oil has been stored for a long time. Washing under pressure (of the vehicle or of a unit) Close the gearbox and final drive breather. If the gearbox is removed, correctly close all of the openings to prevent the entry of water.

Refit the new speedometer drive using pliers with a long, flat nose. The drive gear and its shaft are refitted by hand. The shaft must be positioned correctly in relation to the locating notches on the drive gear, owing to the elasticity of the shaft lips.
REMOVAL
It is not necessary to dismantle the entire gearbox. Uncouple the left hand driveshaft. Remove the spider sun wheel. Turn the differential by hand so that the speedometer drive gear can be reached. Unclip the shaft, pulling it vertically using long nosed pliers. Using the same pliers, remove the drive gear from its location.

The automatic transmission is greased under pressure and therefore only while the engine is running. Consequently, in order to avoid serious damage, the following recommendations must be followed: - never drive with the ignition switched off (on a downwards slope, for example), the danger of such a practice cannot be emphasised enough. - never push the vehicle (for example: to reach a petrol station), except in the situation where the precautions stated in the section below on "Towing" are observed. Furthermore, the vehicle can only be driven if the engine is running. It is therefore impossible to start the engine of an automatic transmission vehicle by pushing it.
TOWING
The front of the vehicle should be lifted. However, if this is not possible, the vehicle may, in exceptional circumstances, be towed with four wheels on the ground under the following conditions: 1. Add an additional two litres of automatic transmission oil ELF RENAULTMATIC D2 or MOBIL ATF 220. Only tow the vehicle at a speed of less than 20 mph (30 km/h) over a distance of less than 30 miles (50 km) (lever in"N")

1 - The vehicle must be on a four post lift and the transmission at ambient temperature. 2 - Switch on the engine with the selector lever in park. 3 - Connect the XR25 and enter: D 0 4 then # 0 4
4 - Lift the vehicle and run the engine until a temperature of 60 C is reached 5 - When the required temperature has been reached, with the engine running, open the oil top-up plug; allow the excess oil to flow out for approximately 20 seconds (this excess should exceed 0.1 litres). Refit the plug. 6 - If the volume of oil recovered is less than 0.1 litres, the level is not correct, repeat the operation.
94845R1
In this case, add 1 litre of the recommended oil and leave the automatic transmission to cool before carrying out the operations which follow.
Use a funnel fitted with a 15/100 filter to prevent the entry of impurities. The level is MUST be checked in accordance with the procedure described below: Before carrying out this procedure: - if the gearbox has been drained, fill it with 3.5 litres of oil, - if the gearbox is simply to be checked, 0.5 litres of the recommended oil must be added.

When the ignition is switched on, with the vehicle stationary and the engine stopped, in position P or N, the warning light illuminates. When the starter is operated, the warning light remains illuminated. When the key is released, with the ignition on and the engine running, the warning light extinguishes approximately 3 seconds after starting the engine.
When the vehicle is stationary with the engine running or when driving, the warning light is permanently illuminated. When the vehicle is moving the warning light illuminates and extinguishes with no operation of the ignition key. When the vehicle is moving, the warning light illuminates briefly.
Fault present
When the vehicle is moving or stationary, the warning light flashes with a frequency of approximately 1 flash per second. In this case, reduce the performance requirement by reducing the acceleration.
Oil pressure
The transmission is fitted with an oil pressure socket. Connect tool B.Vi. 1215 for checking the automatic transmission pressure sensor only. The oil pressure cannot be adjusted. Its value is determined by the computer.
