Poor acceleration; flares when starting off in D and R; stall speed high in 2 and 1, and in D in 1st and 2nd

Low ATF level

Shift cable broken or out of adjustment

ATF pump worn or binding

Regulator valve stuck or spring worn

ATF strainer clogged

Torque converter check valve defective

Notes

Check the ATF level, and check the ATF cooler lines for leakage and loose connections. If necessary, clean the ATF cooler lines.

Notes

Check for a loose shift cable at the shift lever and the selector control lever.

Notes

Improper alignment of ATF pump and torque converter housing may cause ATF pump seizure. The symptoms are mostly an rpm-related ticking noise or a high pitched squeak.

Notes

Check the ATF strainer for debris. If the ATF strainer is clogged with particles of steel or aluminum, inspect the ATF pump. If the ATF pump is OK, find the damaged components that caused the debris. If no cause for contamination is found, replace the torque converter.
