Judgement
As 
the 
troubles 
on
the 
automatic
transmission 
can 
be
mostly 
repaired 
by
doing 
simple 
adjustment 
so 
do
not
disassemble
immediately 
if 
the
auto
m 
tic 
transmission 
is 
in 
trouble
Firstly 
inspect 
and
adjust 
the 
auto
matic 
transmission 
with
mounting 
on
vehicle
by 
observing 
the
trouble
shooting 
chart
If 
the
trouble 
could 
not 
be
solved
by 
this
procedure 
then
remove 
and
disassemble 
the 
automatic 
transmis
sion 
It
is 
advisable 
to

the

For 
instance
Lack
of 
oil 
causes 
defective
opera
tion
by 
making 
the 
clutches 
and
brakes
slip 
developing 
severe
wear
The
cause 
of
this
operation 
is 
that
the
oil
pump 
has
begun 
to
suck 
air
which
caused 
oil
foaming 
thus
rapidly
deteriora
ting 
the 
oil
quality 
and
pro
ducing 
sludge 
and
varnish
Meanwhile 
excessive 
oil 
is 
also 
bad
as 
in 
the
case 
of
a 
lack
of 
oil 
because
of 
oil
foaming 
by 
being 
stirred
up 
by
the
gears 
Moreover 
in
high 
speed
driving 
with 
excessive 
oil 
in 
the 
trans
mission 
the 
oil
often 
blows 
out 
from
the 
breather
I
Measuring

checking

fluid 
level

and 
run 
it

temperatures 
oil

ture 
50 
to
800e 
122 
to 
176

Approximately 
ten 
minute
operation
will 
elevate 
the
temperature 
to 
this
range 
and
enigne

conditions
are 
stabilized 
Then
apply 
the 
brakes
and 
move 
the 
transmission
shift

through 
all 
drive
positions 
and
place
the 
lever 
in

P
position 
In 
this
inspection 
the 
car 
must 
be
placed 
on 
a
level 
surface
The 
amount 
of 
the 
oil
varies 
with
the
temperature 
As 
a 
rule 
the 
oil
level
must 
be
measured 
after 
its
tempera
ture 
becomes
sufficiently 
high
I 
Fill 
the 
oil
to 
the 
line

of

and
therefore 
take
care 
not

line 
H
2 
At 
the 
time 
of 
the
above
topping 
up 
and
changing 
of 
oil 
care
should 
be 
taken 
of 
to
prevent 
mixing
the 
oil 
with 
dust 
and
water

Inspecting 
oil 
condition
The 
condition 
of 
oil
sticking 
to 
the
level
gauge 
indicates 
whether 
to 
over
haul 
and
repair 
the 
transmission
or
look
for 
the
defective
part
If 
the
oil 
has 
deteriorated 
into
a
varnish 
like
quality 
it
causes 
the 
con
trol 
valve 
to
stick 
The 
blackened 
oil
gives 
the
proof 
of 
the 
burned 
clutch
brake 
band
etc 
In
these 
cases 
the
transmission 
must 
be
replaced
Notes 
a 
In

use
special
paper 
waste 
to
handle

and 
take
care
not 
to 
let 
the

Insert
