 INTRODUCTION
MAZDA G4A-HL
The Mazda G4A four speed automatic transaxle can come with hydraulic or computer shift control. Although
both units share common parts there are many differences. The hydraulic control (HL) unit is readily identifiable
by the governor assembly on the top right front of the unit and has a converter clutch. This booklet covers
teardown / assembly and diagnostic information of this unit.
