specification, use the following trouble shooting guide.
* Hydraulic Pressure High In All Ranges
Check throttle cable adjustment. If adjustment is okay, check
for throttle valve or regulator valve failure.
* Hydraulic Pressure Low In All Ranges
Check throttle cable adjustment. If adjustment is okay, check
for throttle valve, regulator valve, transmission oil pump or
overdrive clutch failure.
* Hydraulic Pressure Low In Drive Position
Check for fluid leaks in Drive hydraulic circuit. Check for
forward clutch or overdrive clutch failure.
* Hydraulic Pressure Low In Reverse Position
Check for fluid leaks in Reverse hydraulic circuit. Check for
transmission No. 3 brake failure, forward clutch failure or
overdrive clutch failure.
LINE PRESSURE (PICKUP)
1) Incorrect throttle pressure setting will cause incorrect
line pressure readings even though line pressure adjustment is
correct. Always inspect and correct throttle pressure adjustment
before adjusting line pressure.
2) Approximate adjustment, measured from valve body to inner
edge of adjusting nut, is 15/16". However, due to manufacturing
tolerances, adjustment can be varied to obtain correct line pressure.
3) Adjusting screw may be turned with an Allen wrench. One
complete turn of adjusting screw changes closed throttle line pressure
approximately 1 2/3 psi. Turn adjusting screw counterclockwise to
increase pressure or clockwise to decrease pressure.
THROTTLE PRESSURE (PICKUP)
1) Throttle pressures cannot be accurately tested. If a
malfunction exists, adjustment should be measured.
2) Insert Gauge Pin (C-3763) between throttle lever cam and
kickdown valve. Push in on tool to compress kickdown valve against its
spring.
3) As force is being exerted to compress spring, turn
throttle lever screw with Allen wrench until head of screw touches
throttle lever tang with gauge pin, and throttle valve bottoms. Ensure
adjustment is made with spring fully compressed and valve bottomed in
valve body.
KICKDOWN BAND
PICKUP
1) Locate kickdown band adjusting screw on left side of
transmission case. Loosen lock nut, and back off nut 5 turns. Ensure
adjusting screw turns freely in transmission case.
2) Using torque wrench, tighten adjusting screw to 72 INCH
lbs. (8 N.m). Back off adjusting screw 2 7/8 turns. Hold adjuster
screw in this position, and tighten lock nut to 30 ft. lbs. (41 N.m).
LOW-REVERSE BAND
PICKUP
1) Raise vehicle, drain transmission, and remove oil pan.
Loosen adjusting screw lock nut, and back off nut 5 turns. Ensure
Check transaxle/transmission and transfer case fluid level
every 30,000 miles. Change fluid at 30,000 miles if operated under
severe service conditions.
CHECKING FLUID LEVEL
TRANSAXLE/TRANSMISSION
Lubricant level is checked at fill hole on side of transaxle
or transmission. Lubricant must be at bottom of fill hole.
TRANSFER CASE
Transfer case contains separate drain and fill plugs.
Lubricant must reach to bottom of fill hole.
On 3000GT models, transfer case contains separate drain and
fill plugs. Lubricant should be .5" (13 mm) from bottom of fill hole.
RECOMMENDED FLUID
Use API GL-4 or GL-5 SAE 75W-85 gear oil.
