CLUTCH AIR PRESSURE TESTS
Inoperative clutches can be located using a series of tests
by substituting air pressure for fluid pressure.
The clutches may be tested by applying air pressure to their
respective passages.
Remove the valve body and then install the special tool
To make air pressure tests, go on as follows:
The compressed air supply must be free of all dirt and moisture.
Use a pressure of 207 (30 psi).
Remove oil pan and valve body. See Valve body remov al.
OVERDRIVE CLUTCH
Apply air pressure to the overdrive clutch apply passage and
watch for the push/pull piston to move forward. The piston
should return to its starting position when the air pressure
is removed.
REVERSE CLUTCH
Apply air pressure to the reverse clutch apply pass age and
watch for the push/pull piston to move rearward. Th e piston
should return to its starting position when the air pressure
is removed.
CLUTCH
Apply air pressure to the feed hole located on the clutch
retainer.Look in the area where the piston contacts
the first separator plate and watch carefully for the piston
to move rearward. The piston should return to its o riginal
position after the air pressure is removed.
LOW/REVERSE CLUTCH
Apply air pressure to the low/reverse clutch feed h ole (rear
of case, between 2 bolt holes). Then, look in the a rea where
the low/reverse piston contacts the first separator plate and
watch carefully for the piston to move forward. The piston
should return to its original position after the ai r pressure
is removed.
CLUTCH
Because this clutch piston cannot be seen, its oper ation is
checked by function. Air pressure is applied to low/ reverse
and the clutches. This locks the output shaft. Use a
piece of rubber hose wrapped around the input shaft and
a pair of clamp-on pliers to turn the input shaft. Next apply
air pressure to the underdrive clutch. The input sh aft should
not rotate with hand torque. Release the air pressu re and
confirm that the input shaft will rotate.
