MULTI-MODE MANUAL TRANSAXLE SYSTEM CALIBRATION
SYNCHRONIZATION POSITION CALIBRATION
For smoother shifting, the TCM learns the synchronization position of the transaxle gears. Perform synchronization position calibration of the multi-mode manual transaxle while driving the vehicle after repairing system components.
Tip:If clutch fluid line parts are installed, bleed the air from the lines before performing initialization.
When replacing the following parts, proceed with the operation in the order listed in the table below.

Note:Do not clear (initialize) parts other than those specified in the "Part Installed" column in the table above.
While driving the vehicle in M mode, shift up and down between 1st and 6th at the vehicle speeds specified below.
Check that the gears shift smoothly.

Gear Position
Vehicle Speed
Up shift
1st → 2nd
25 to 40 km/h (15.5 to 24.9 mph)
2nd → 3rd
47 to 68 km/h (29.2 to 42.3 mph)
3rd → 4th
69 to 98 km/h (42.9 to 60.9 mph)
4th → 5th
92 to 133 km/h (57.2 to 82.6 mph)
5th → 6th
99 to 181 km/h (61.5 to 112.5 mph)
Down shift
2nd → 1st
25 to 31 km/h (15.5 to 19.3 mph)
Tip:Leave an interval of more than 2 seconds between gear changes.
If there is a shock when changing gears after synchronization position calibration, perform synchronization position calibration again.
