TURBO HYDRA-MATIC DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE
Accurate diagnosis of transmission problems begins
with a thorough understanding of normal transmission
operation. In particular, knowing which units are in-
volved in the various speeds or shifts so that the specific
units or circuits involved in the problem can be isolated
and investigated further. Analytical diagnosis will pro-
tect the technician from come backs and certainly will
improve owner satisfaction.
An important and often overlooked aspect of diagnosis
is finding out specifically what the customer is com-
plaining of. For this purpose a short ride with the cus-
tomer will often prove beneficial. It may be found that
the condition the customer wants corrected is standard
and should not be altered.
The following sequence, based on field experience, pro-
vides the desired information quickly and in most cases
actually corrects the malfunction without requiring the
removal of the transmission. Details of the items listed
in this sequence are covered further in the text.
SEQUENCE FOR TURBO HYDRA-MATIC
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE
1.
Check oil level and condition.
2.
Check and correct detent switch.
3.
Check and correct vacuum line and fittings.
4.
Check and correct manual linkage.
OIL LEVEL AND CONDITION CHECK
Always check the oil level before road testing. Oil
must be visible on dip stick prior to operating the ve-
hicle. Erratic shifting, pump noise, or other malfunc-
tions can in some cases be traced to improper oil level.
Oil level should be checked with the selector lever in
the Park (P) position, engine running, and the vehicle on
level pavement.
Fluid level should be to the FULL mark with the trans-
mission at normal operating temperature (170°-190°
F.).
With warm fluid (room temperature), the level should be
at or slightly below the ADD mark.
If oil level was low, refer to Oil Leaks.
The condition of the oil is often an indication of whether
the transmission should be removed from the vehicle, or
to make further tests. When checking oil level, a burned
smell and discoloration indicate burned clutches or bands
and the transmission will have to be removed.
MANUAL LINKAGE
Manual linkage adjustment and the associated neutral
safety switch are important from a safety standpoint
The neutral safety switch should be adjusted so that the
engine will start in the Park and Neutral positions only.
With the selector lever in the Park position, the park-
ing pawl should freely engage and prevent the vehicle
from rolling. The pointer on the indicator quadrant
should line up properly with the range indicators in all
ranges.
OIL LEAKS
Before attempting to correct an oil leak, the actual
source of the leak must be determined. In many cases,
the source of the leak can be deceiving due to "wind flow"
around the engine and transmission.
The suspected area should be wiped clean of all oil be-
fore inspecting for the source of the leak. Red dye is
used in the transmission oil at the assembly plant and
will indicate if the oil leak is from the transmission.
. The use of a "black light"* to identify the oil at the
source of leak is also helpful. Comparing the oil from
the leak to that on the engine or transmission dip stick
(when viewed by black light) will determine the source
of the leak.
Oil leaks around the engine and transmission are gen-
erally carried toward the rear of the car by the air
stream. For example, a transmission "oil filler tube to
case leak" will sometimes appear as a leak at the rear of
the transmission. In determining the source of an oil
leak it is most helpful to keep the engine running.
POSSIBLE POINTS OF OIL LEAKS
• 1. TRANSMISSION OIL PAN LEAK
a. Attaching bolts not correctly torqued.
b.
Improperly installed or damaged pan gasket.
c. Oil pan gasket mounting face not flat.
2.
REAR EXTENSION LEAK
a. Attaching bolts not correctly torqued.
b.
Rear seal assembly — damaged or improperly
installed.
c. Gasket seal — (extension to case) damaged or
improperly installed.
d. Porous casting.
3.
CASE LEAK
a. Filler pipe "O" ring seal damaged or missing;
misposition of filler pipe bracket to engine —
"loading" one side of
"O"
ring.
b.
Modulator assembly "O" ring seal
—
damaged or
improperly installed.
c. Governor cover, gasket and bolts — damaged,
loose; case face leak.
d. Speedo gear
—
"O" ring damaged.
e. Manual shaft seal — damaged, improperly in-
stalled.
f. line pressure tap plug — stripped, shy sealer
compound.
g. Parking pawl shaft cup plug
—
damaged, improp-
erly installed.
h. Vent pipe (refer to Item 5).
i. Porous case.
4.
FRONT END LEAK
a. Front seal - damaged (check converter neck for
nicks,
etc., also for pump bushing moved for-
ward);
garter spring missing from pump to con-
verter seaL
b.
Pump attaching bolts and seals
—
damaged, miss-
ing, bolts loose.

c. Converter

leak in weld.
d. Pump tfO" ring seal — damaged. (Also check
pump groove and case bore.)
e. Porous casting (pump or case).
5. OIL COMES OUT VENT PIPE
a. Transmission over-filled.
b.
Water in oil.
c. Pump to case gasket mispositioned.
d. Foreign material between pump and case, or be-
tween pump cover and body.
e. Case — porous, pump face improperly machined.
f. Pump — shy of stock on mounting faces, porous
casting.
CASE POROSITY-REPAIR
Transmission leaks caused by aluminum case porosity
have been successfully repaired with the transmission in
the vehicle by using the following procedure.
1.
Road test and bring the transmission to operating
temperature.
2.
Raise the car and, with the engine running, locate the
source of the oil leak. Check for leaks in all operat-
ing positions.
NOTE:
The use of a mirror will be helpful in
finding leaks.
3.
Shut off engine and thoroughly clean area with a sol-
vent and air dry.
4.
Using the instruction of the manufacturer, mix a suf-
ficient amount of epoxy cement, part #1360016, to
make the repair.
5. While the transmission is still hot, apply the epoxy
to the area, making certain that the area is fully
covered.
6. Allow epoxy cement to dry for three hours and re-
test for leaks, as outlined in Steps 1 and 2.
OIL PRESSURE CHECK
With Car Stationary
Transmission oil pressure gauge and engine tachome-
ter should be connected and the oil pressures should
check as follows:
