Component Tests and General Diagnostics

CAUTION: Before testing, be sure transmission is filled to proper level.









NOTE: Stop engine when attaching hoses for pressure tests. Torque hose fitting to 18 N~rn (1 .8 kg-rn, 12 lb-ft). Do not reuse aluminum washers.





Line Pressure Measurement

- Set the parking brake securely.
- Jack up the front of the car and support it with a jack stands. Run the engine at 2,000 rpm.








Clutch Pressure Measurment

- Set the parking brake securely and block the rear wheels.
- Jack up the front of the car and support ii with jack stands. Run the engine at 2,000 rpm.


High/Low Pressure Test

1. Raise car and support with safety stands.

2. Attach the gauge set to the appropriate pressure test port.






3. Remove the cable end of the throttle control cable from the throttle control lever.

NOTE: Do not loosen the locknuts, simply unhook the cable end.

4. Warm up engine to normal operating temperature (cooling fan comes on).

5. With the engine idling, move the selector lever to 03 or 04.





6. Slowly move the throttle linkage to increase engine rpm until pressure is indicated on the appropriate gauge. Then release the throttle linkage, allowing the engine to return to an idle, and record the pressure reading.

7. Repeat step 6 for each clutch pressure being inspected.





8. With the engine idling, lift the throttle control lever up approximately 1/2 of its possible travel and increase the engine rpm until pressure is indicated on the appropriate gauge. Record the highest pressure reading obtained.


9. Repeat step 8 for each clutch pressure being inspected.
