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

If 
the
trouble 
could 
not 
be
solved
by 
this
procedure 
then
remove 
and
disassemble 
the 
automatic 
transmis
sion

is 
advisable

For

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
