DD
DDRR RRII IIVV VVII IINN NNGG GG
As the automatic transmission is lubricated under
pressure, lubrication only occurs if the engine is
running.
Consequently, the following instructions must be
respected in order to avoid serious damage:
- Never move the vehicle with the ignition off
(when going down a slope for example), the
danger of such a measure cannot be
emphasised too greatly.
- Never have the vehicle pushed (for example in
order to reach the next service station), unless
precautions taken in the "Towing" are fol-
lowed).
In addition, the vehicle can only be driven if the
engine is running. It is therefore impossible to
start the engine on a vehicle with automatic trans-
mission by pushing the vehicle.
TT
TTOO OOWW WWII IINN NNGG GG
The front of the vehicle must be raised, however if
this is impossible towing can be carried out in ex-
ceptional cases with the wheels on the ground in
the following conditions:
1- Add an additional 2 litres of oil to the auto-
matic transmission ("Elf Renaultmatic D2" or
Mobil ATF 220).
2- When towing, do not exceed a speed of
25 mph (40 km/h) or a distance of 30 miles
(50 km) maximum (lever in N).
Remember to drain off the excess oil at the end of
the towing operation.

• Damaged brakes or clutch:
1st possibility:
Repair the gear section and clean the final drive,
oil cooler, converter* and check the hydraulic dis-
tributor.
2nd possibility:
Change the gear section alone. (Adjust the end
float and the oil pressure setting). Or change the
entire automatic transmission (service exchange
or new transmission).
* The cleaning method is given in the "Torque
converter" section.
• Bearing(s) which is/are noisy but not broken:
Change the bearing(s) and the filter.
• Bearing(s) or other mechanical component
damaged:
If the damage is extensive, change the automatic
transmission (service exchange or new transmis-
sion).
For a service exchange:
Return the worn transmission with the packaging
in which the new part was delivered.
Parts to be replaced (after removal)
- roll pins,
- O and square section seals,
- lip seals,
- paper seals,
- bearings (if they have had to be removed),
- circlips,
- differential bank (MJ),
- speedometer drive shaft (MB),
- speedometer drive gears (if they have had to
be removed),
- the entire free wheel (if there is a problem),
- the quadrants with the drive hub (if they are
seized in the hub).
