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

temperatures

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

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

difference 
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

take
care
not 
to 
let 
the

FUEL 
GAUGE 
AND
TEMPE
RATURE 
GAUGE
Description
The 
fuel
gauge 
consists
of 
a 
tank 
unit
located 
in 
the
fuel 
tank
and 
fuel 
meter 
The 
tank 
unit
detects 
fuel 
level
with 
its
float 
converts 
fuel 
level 
variation 
to
a 
resistance
of 
slide 
resistor
installed 
on 
the 
float 
base
and 
thus
controls 
current
flowing 
to 
the 
fuel 
meter
The
temperature
gauge 
consists 
of
a 
thermorneter 
and
thermal 
transmitter 
located 
in
the
engine 
block 
The
thermal 
transmitter 
is
equipped 
with 
a 
thermistor 
element
which 
converts
cooling 
water
temperature 
variation 
to 
a
resistance 
and 
thus 
the 
thermal 
transmitter 
controls
current
flowing 
to 
the 
thermometer
The 
fuel 
rneter 
and 
thermometer 
are
provided 
with
bimetal 
a 
and
heater 
coil 
When 
the
ignition 
switch 
is
set 
to 
ON
current 
flows 
to 
the 
heat
coil 
and 
the 
heat
coil 
is
heated 
With
this 
heat 
the 
bimetal 
arm 
is
bent 
and
thus 
the
pointer 
connected 
to
the 
bimetal
ann 
is
operated
The 
characteristics 
ot 
both
meters 
are 
same
A
tolerance
may 
occur 
on 
the
thermometer 
or
fuel
gauge 
due 
to
source
voltage 
fluctuation 
The
voltage
regulator 
is 
used 
to
supply 
a 
constant
voltage 
so 
that 
the
therrnorneter 
and 
fuel
gauge
operate 
correctly 
The
voltage 
regulator 
is 
built 
in 
the 
thermometer
The
operating 
part 
of 
the
regulator 
consists
of 
a
bimetal 
arm 
and 
a 
heater 
coil 
When 
the
ignition 
switch 
is
turned 
on 
the 
birnetal 
arm 
is 
heated 
and 
bent
by 
the 
coil
opening 
the
contact
Consequently 
current 
to 
the
coil 
is
interrupted 
As 
the 
bimetal
cools 
the
contact 
closes 
The
repetition 
of 
this
operation
produces 
a
pulsating 
voltage
of 
8V 
which 
is
applied 
to
the
ternperature 
and 
fuel
gauges
If
both 
thermometer 
and
fuel 
meters
become 
defective
at 
the
same 
time
this
may 
be 
attributable 
to 
trouble 
in
the
voltage 
regulator
