fluid to bring level to lower mark of dipstick if necessary. Recheck
fluid level after transmission is at normal operating temperature.
TRANSFER CASE
Drain plug is located on bottom of transfer case. Change
drain plug gasket whenever fluid is changed. On 3000GT, lubricant
level should be approximately .5" (13 mm) below fill hole on side of
transfer case. On all others models, lubricant level should be to
bottom of fill hole on side of transfer case.
HYDRAULIC CONTROL PRESSURE ADJUSTMENTS
LINE PRESSURE CHECK (EXCEPT MONTERO & PICKUP)
1) Set parking brake. Place shift lever in Neutral position.
Attach engine tachometer. Remove line pressure port plug located above
front transaxle shaft, forward of governor pressure port plug. On
Precis, line pressure port is located below bell housing, at front of
transaxle oil pan. Using appropriate adapter, attach pressure gauge.
2) Start engine, and bring to operating temperature. With
gear selector in Drive position, bring engine speed to 2500 RPM. Pull
throttle control cable (if equipped) wide open at transaxle side.
3) Line pressure should be 98-100 psi (6.9-7.0 kg/cm
) on
Mirage, or 124-127 psi (8.7-8.9 kg/cm) on all others. If line
pressure is not to specification, proceed to LINE PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT.
LINE PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT (EXCEPT MONTERO & PICKUP)
1) Drain transaxle fluid. Remove oil pan. Disconnect throttle
control cable from throttle cam. Remove oil temperature sensor (if
equipped). Disconnect solenoid connector. On some models, it may be
necessary to push solenoid wire harness connector and grommet into
transaxle case.
2) Remove oil filter screen and plate. Noting location and
length of bolts, remove valve body. DO NOT drop internal parts. Adjust
line pressure by turning regulator valve adjusting screw.
3) Turn adjusting screw counterclockwise to increase pressure
or clockwise to decrease pressure. One complete turn of adjusting
screw changes line pressure as follows.
* 3.7 psi (.26 kg/cm
) on Mirage with F3A21 Transaxle
* 5.4 psi (.39 kg/cm) on Precis
* 54 psi (3.8 kg/cm) on all others
4) After adjustment, reverse removal procedure to install.
Refill transaxle.
LINE PRESSURE (MONTERO)
1) Remove plug from line pressure take-off port located
behind transmission shift control lever. Install Hydraulic Pressure
Meter (MD998330) with Adapter (MD998206).
2) Place vehicle on dynamometer. Apply parking brake and
start engine. With brake applied, place transmission in Drive. Note
pressure at idle. Pressure should be 74-85 psi (5.2-6.0 kg/cm
).
3) Raise engine RPM to stall speed (2100-2400 RPM). Note lin\
e
pressure. Pressure should be 156-185 psi (11.0-13.0 kg/cm
).
4) Shift transmission into Reverse with brake applied. At
idle, pressure should be 112-130 psi (7.9-9.1 kg/cm
). Raise engine
RPM to stall speed (2100-2400 RPM). Note line pressure. Pressure
should be 227-285 psi (16.0-20.0 kg/cm
). If readings are not to
