In the event of a fault developing, you will need to consider whether the fault is electrical, mechanical or hydraulic, before the consideration of a repair exercise is possible. In order to make a diagnosis, specific knowledge of the abilities and structure of a transaxle is necessary, in addition to specific testing equipment, and therefore is considered to be outside of the scope of advice given in this article. This makes it obligatory that any issue related to the production of the automatic transaxle must be taken to a dealer service department or another authorized repair shop for diagnosis. Again, a bad transaxle ideally ought not to be pulled off before the car has been examined by a skilled mechanic with appropriate tools since diagnostic work has to be done with the transaxle still connected to the car.
