17. Final evaluation:
It may not be necessary to fully disassemble the tran-
saxle to identify the damage or find the root cause of a
warrantable failure.
At this point of disassembly, or some point earlier in the
process, the technician should be able to make an
assessment of whether it is feasible to repair the tran-
saxle. It should also be possible to positively identify
what went wrong in a warrantable transaxle replace-
ment.
If the transaxle is to be warranted, reassemble it for
shipping. It may be called back for inspection.
