4. Attach
the
special oil-pressure
gauge (MD998330-01)
and
the
adaptor
(MD998332-01) to
each oil-pressure
outlet
port. When
the
reverse position pressure is to
be tested,
the

3,000 kPa (400 psi) type
of gauge should be
used.

CONVERTER STALL TEST
Stall test consist of determining maximum engine
speed obtained at full throttle in “D” and “R”
positions. This test checks torque converter stator
overrunning clutch operation, and holding ability of
transaxle clutches and low-reserve brake.
Caution
During this test, make sure that no one stand in
front of or behind vehicle.
1. Check transaxle fluid level. Fluid should be at
normal operating temperature [70-80°C (160-
18O”F)j. Engine coolant should also be at normal
operating temperature
[80-90°C (180-19O”F)l.
2. Apply chocks to both rear wheels.
3. Attach engine tachometer.
4. Apply parking and service brakes fully.
5. Start engine.
6. With selector lever in “D” position, depress
accelerator pedal fully to read engine maximum
rpm. Do not hold throttle wide open any longer
than is necessary to obtain maximum engine
rpm reading, and never longer than 5 seconds at
a time. If more than one stall test is required,
operate engine at approximatey 1,000 rpm in
TRANSAXLE CONTROL
neutral for 2 minutes to cool transaxle fluid
between tests.
Stall speed: 1,800-3,200
rpm
7.Place selector lever to “R” position and perform
stall test by the same procedure as in foregoing
item.
Stall Speed Above Specification in “D”
If stall speed is higher than specification, rear clutch
or overrunning clutch of transaxle is slipping. In this
case, perform hydraulic test to locate cause of
slippage.
Stall Speed Above Specification in “I?”
If stall speed is higher than specification, front
clutch of transaxle or low-reverse brake is slipping. In this case, perform hydraulic test to locate cause
of slippage.
Stall Speed Below Specification in “D” and “R”
If stall speed is lower than specification, insufficient
engine output or faulty torque converter is sus-
pected. Check for engine misfiring, ignition timing,
valve clearance etc. If these are good, torque
converter is faulty. Svmotom
