JUDGEMENT

High

revolution
more

than

revolution

If
the

engine
revolution
in
stall

condition
is

higher
than
the
standard

values
it

indicates
that
one

or
more

clutches
in

the
transmission
are

slipping
and
therefore
no
further
test

is

required

For
the

following

the

To

determine
which

slipping

front

a
road
test
is
nceded

If
whilc

coasting
after

not
work

properly
the

low

reverse

is

slipping

Otherwise
the
front
clutch
is

slipping

Slipping
of
the

is

diffi

cult
to
ascertain

However
if
it

occurs

with
the

engine
