so that pump housing and case front may be covered
with soapy solution or water. Leaks are sometimes
caused by porosity in the case or pump housing.If a leak source is located, that part and all associ-
ated seals, O-rings, and gaskets should be replaced
with new parts.
GEARSHIFT LINKAGE ADJUSTMENT
Normal operation of the Park/Neutral Position
Switch provides a quick check to confirm proper
manual linkage adjustment. Move the selector level slowly upward until it
clicks into the ``P'' Park notch in the selector gate. If
the starter will operate the ``P'' position is correct. After checking ``P'' position, move selector slowly
toward ``N'' Neutral position until lever drops in the
``N'' stop. If the starter will also operate at this point
the gearshift linkage is properly adjusted. If the
starter fails to operate in either position, linkage ad-
justment is required.
CAUTION: When it is necessary to disassemble
linkage cable from levers, which use plastic grom-
mets as retainers, the grommets should be replaced
with new grommets. Use a prying tool to force rod
from grommet in lever, then cut away old grommet.
Use pliers to snap new grommet into lever and rod
into grommet.
(1) Set parking brake.
(2) Place gearshift lever in P(PARK) position.
(3) Loosen clamp bolt on gearshift cable bracket.
(4) Column shift: Insure that preload adjustment
spring engages fork on transaxle bracket. (5) Pull the shift lever by hand to the front detent
position (PARK) and tighten lock. Tighten screw to
11 N Im (100 in. lbs.). Gearshift linkage should now
be properly adjusted. (6) Check adjustment as follows:(a) Detent position for neutral and drive should
be within limits of hand lever gate stops. (b) Key start must occur only when shift lever is
in park or neutral positions.
THROTTLE PRESSURE LINKAGE ADJUSTMENT
The throttle pressure cable adjustment is very im-
portant to proper transaxle operation. This adjust-
ment positions a valve which controls shift speed,
shift quality, and part throttle downshift sensitivity.
If the setting is too long, early shifts and slippage be-
tween shifts may occur. If the setting is too short,
shifts may be delayed and part throttle downshifts
may be very sensitive.
CABLE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE (4-CYL.)
(1) Perform transaxle throttle pressure cable ad-
justment while engine is at normal operating tem-
perature. (2) Loosen cable mounting bracket lock screw.
(3) Bracket should be positioned with both bracket
alignment tabs touching the transaxle cast surface.
Tighten lock screw to 12 N Im (105 in. lbs.) see Fig-
ure 8.
(4) Release cross-lock on the cable assembly (pull
cross-lock upward) see Figure 7. (5) To insure proper adjustment, the cable must be
free to slide all the way toward the engine, against
its stop, after the cross-lock is released. (6) Move transaxle throttle control lever fully
clockwise, against its internal stop, and press cross-
lock downward into locked position (Fig. 7). (7) The adjustment is complete and transaxle
throttle cable backlash was automatically removed. (8) Test cable freedom of operation by moving the
transaxle throttle lever forward (counterclockwise).
Then slowly release it to confirm it will return fully
rearward (clockwise). (9) No lubrication is required for any component of
the throttle cable system.
ROD ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE (6-CYL.)
(1) Perform transaxle throttle pressure cable ad-
justment while engine is at normal operating tem-
perature. (2) Loosen adjustment swivel lock screw.
(3) To insure proper adjustment, swivel must be
free to slide along flat end of throttle rod so that pre-
load spring action is not restricted. Disassemble and
clean or repair parts to assure free action, if neces-
sary. (4) Hold transaxle throttle lever firmly toward en-
gine, against its internal stop and tighten swivel lock
screw to 11 N Im (100 in. lbs.)
(5) The adjustment is finished and linkage back
lash was automatically removed by the preload
spring. (6) If lubrication is required see Lubrication,

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
WARNING: WEAR EYE PROTECTION WHEN SER-
VICING THE AIR CONDITIONING REFRIGERANT
SYSTEM. SERIOUS EYE INJURY CAN RESULT
FROM EYE CONTACT WITH REFRIGERANT. IF EYE
CONTACT IS MADE, SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION
IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT EXPOSE REFRIGERANT TO OPEN
FLAME. POISONOUS GAS IS CREATED WHEN RE-
FRIGERANT IS BURNED. AN ELECTRONIC TYPE
LEAK DETECTOR IS RECOMMENDED. LARGE AMOUNTS OF REFRIGERANT RELEASED
IN A CLOSED WORK AREA WILL DISPLACE THE
OXYGEN AND CAUSE SUFFOCATION. THE EVAPORATION RATE OF (R-12) REFRIGER-
ANT AT AVERAGE TEMPERATURE AND ALTITUDE
IS EXTREMELY HIGH. AS A RESULT, ANYTHING
THAT COMES IN CONTACT WITH THE REFRIGER-
ANT WILL FREEZE. ALWAYS PROTECT SKIN OR
DELICATE OBJECTS FROM DIRECT CONTACT
WITH REFRIGERANT.
CAUTION: Liquid refrigerant is corrosive to metal
surfaces. Follow the operating instructions supplied
with equipment being used.
COOLING SYSTEM PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: ANTIFREEZE IS AN ETHYLENE GLYCOL
BASE COOLANT AND IS HARMFUL IF SWAL-
LOWED OR INHALED. IF SWALLOWED, DRINK
TWO GLASSES OF WATER AND INDUCE VOMIT-
ING. IF INHALED, MOVE TO FRESH AIR AREA.
SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT STORE IN OPEN OR UNMARKED CON-
TAINERS. WASH SKIN AND CLOTHING THOROUGHLY AF-
TER COMING IN CONTACT WITH ETHYLENE GLY-
COL. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN AND PETS.
DO NOT OPEN A COOLING SYSTEM WHEN THE
ENGINE IS AT RUNNING TEMPERATURE. PER-
SONAL INJURY CAN RESULT.
The engine cooling system is designed to develop
internal pressure of 97 to 123 kPa (14 to 18 psi). Al-
low the vehicle 15 minutes (or until a safe tempera-
ture and pressure are attained) before opening the
cooling system. Refer to Group 7, Cooling System.
HANDLING TUBING AND FITTINGS
Kinks in the refrigerant tubing or sharp bends in
the refrigerant hose lines will greatly reduce the ca-
pacity of the entire system. High pressures are pro-
duced in the system when it is operating. Extreme
care must be exercised to make sure that all connec-
tions are pressure tight. Dirt and moisture can enter
the system when it is opened for repair or replace-
ment of lines or components. The refrigerant oil will
absorb moisture readily out of the air. This moisture
will convert into acids within a closed system. The following precautions must be observed:
The system must be completely empty before open-
ing any fitting or connection in the refrigeration sys-
tem. Open fittings with caution even after the
system has been emptied. If any pressure is noticed
as a fitting is loosened, allow trapped pressure to
bleed off very slowly. A good rule for the flexible hose lines is to keep the
radius of all bends at least 10 times the diameter of
the hose. Sharper bends will reduce the flow of re-
frigerant. The flexible hose lines should be routed so
they are at least 3 inches (80 mm) from the exhaust
manifold. Inspect all flexible hose lines to make sure
they are in good condition and properly routed. Unified plumbing connections with aluminum gas-
kets cannot be serviced with O-rings. These gaskets
are not reusable and do not require lubrication be-
fore installing. The use of correct wrenches when making connec-
tions is very important. Improper wrenches or im-
proper use of wrenches can damage the fittings. The A/C system will remain chemical stabile as
long as pure-moisture-free R-12 and refrigerant oil is
used. Abnormal amounts of dirt, moisture or air can
upset the chemical stability. This condition could
cause operational troubles or even serious damage if
present in more than very small quantities. When it is necessary to open the refrigeration sys-
tem, have everything needed to service the system
ready. The system should not be left open any longer
than necessary. Cap or plug all lines and fittings as
soon as they are opened to prevent the entrance or
dirt and moisture. All lines and components in parts
stock should be capped or sealed until they are ready
to be used. All tools, including the refrigerant dispensing man-
ifold, the manifold gauge set, and test hoses should
be kept clean and dry.

HEATER AND A/C PERFORMANCE TESTS
HEATER OUTPUT TEST
PRE-DIAGNOSTIC PREPARATIONS
Review Safety Precautions and Warnings before
performing the following procedures. Check the radiator coolant level, drive belt tension,
and engine vacuum line connections. Also check ra-
diator air flow and radiator fan operation. Start en-
gine and allow to warm up to normal operating
temperature.
WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE RADIATOR CAP
WHEN ENGINE IS HOT, PERSONAL INJURY CAN
RESULT.
If vehicle has been run recently, wait 15 minutes
before removing cap. Place a rag over the cap and
turn it to the first safety stop. Allow pressure to es-
cape through the overflow tube. When the system
stabilizes, remove the cap completely.
MAXIMUM HEATER OUTPUT: TEST AND ACTION
Engine coolant is provided to the heater system by
two 16 mm (5/8 inch inside diameter) heater hoses.
With engine idling at normal running temperature,
set the control to maximum heat, floor, and high
blower setting. Using a test thermometer, check the
air temperature coming from the floor outlets, refer
to Temperature Reference chart.
If the floor outlet air temperature is low, refer to
Group 7, Cooling System for coolant temperature
specifications. Both heater hoses should be HOT to
the touch. The coolant return hose should be slightly
cooler than the supply hose. If coolant return hose is
much cooler than the supply hose, locate and repair
engine coolant flow obstruction in heater system.
POSSIBLE LOCATIONS OR CAUSE OF OBSTRUCTED
COOLANT FLOW
(a) Pinched or kinked heater hoses.
(b) Improper heater hose routing. (c) Plugged heater hoses or supply and return
ports at cooling system connections, refer to Group
7, Cooling System. (d) Plugged heater core.
If proper coolant flow through heater system is ver-
ified and outlet air temperature is still low, a me-
chanical problem may exist.
POSSIBLE LOCATION OR CAUSE OF INSUFFICIENT HEAT
(a) Obstructed cowl air intake.
(b) Obstructed heater system outlets.
(c) Blend-air door not functioning properly.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL If temperature cannot be adjusted with the TEMP
lever on the control panel, or TEMP lever is difficult
to move, the following could require service: (a) Blend-air door binding.
(b) Control cables miss-routed, pinched, kinked,
or disconnected. (c) Improper engine coolant temperature.A/C PERFORMANCE TEST
The air conditioning system is designed to remove
heat and humidity from the air entering the passen-
ger compartment. The evaporator, located in the
heater A/C unit behind the instrument panel, is
cooled to temperatures near the freezing point. As
warm damp air passes over the fins in the evapora-
tor, moisture in the air condenses to water, dehumid-
ifying the air. Condensation on the evaporator fins
reduces the evaporators ability to absorb heat. Dur-
ing periods of high heat and humidity an A/C system
will be less effective than during periods of high heat
and low humidity. With the instrument control set to
RECIRC, only air from the passenger compartment
passes through the evaporator. As the passenger
compartment air dehumidifies, A/C performance lev-
els rise.
PERFORMANCE TEST PROCEDURE
Review Safety Precautions and Warnings before
proceeding with this procedure. Air temperature in
test room and on vehicle must be 70ÉF (21ÉC) mini-
mum for this test. (1) Connect a tachometer and manifold gauge set.
(2) Set control to A/C, RECIRC, PANEL, or MAX
A/C, temperature lever on full cool and blower on
high. (3) Start engine and hold at 1000 rpm with A/C
clutch engaged. (4) Engine should be warmed up with doors and
windows closed.

WARNING: REVIEW SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND
WARNINGS BEFORE CHARGING THE REFRIGER-
ANT SYSTEM.
After the system has been tested for leaks and
evacuated, a refrigerant charge can be injected into
the system. (1) Connect manifold gauge set.
(2) Measure refrigerant (refer to capacities) and
heat to 52ÉC (125ÉF) with the charging station. Refer
to the instructions provided with the equipment be-
ing used.
REFRIGERANT CAPACITIES:
² Without Rear A/C = 907 g (32 oz.)
² With Rear A/C = 1219 g (43 oz.)
(3) Open the suction and discharge valves. Open
the charge valve to allow the heated refrigerant to
flow into the system. When the transfer of refriger-
ant has stopped, close the suction and discharge
valve. (4) If all of the refrigerant charge did not transfer
from the dispensing device, start engine and hold at
idle (1400 rpm). Set the A/C control to A/C, low
blower speed, and open windows. If the A/C compres-
sor does not engage, test the compressor clutch con-
trol circuit and correct any failure. Refer to Group
8W, Wiring Diagrams. (5) Open the suction valve to allow the remaining
refrigerant to transfer to the system.
WARNING: TAKE CARE NOT TO OPEN THE DIS-
CHARGE (HIGH-PRESSURE) VALVE AT THIS TIME.
(6) Close all valves and test the A/C system perfor-
mance. Refer to Heater and A/C Performance Tests
in this Group. (7) Disconnect the charging station or manifold
gauge set. Install the service port caps.
OIL LEVEL
It is important to have the correct amount of oil in
the A/C system to ensure proper lubrication of the
compressor. Too little oil will result in damage to the
compressor. Too much oil will reduce the cooling ca-
pacity of the system. The oil used in the compressor is a 500 SUS viscos-
ity, wax-free refrigerant oil. Only refrigerant oil of
the same type should be used to service the system.
Do not use any other oil. The oil container should be
kept tightly capped until it is ready for use, and then
tightly capped after use to prevent contamination
from dirt and moisture. Refrigerant oil will quickly
absorb any moisture it comes in contact with. It will not be necessary to check oil level in the
compressor or to add oil unless there has been an oil
loss. This may be due to a ruptured line, shaft seal leakage, leakage from the evaporator, condenser
leak, filter drier or loss of refrigerant due to a colli-
sion. Oil loss at a the leak point will be evident by
the presence of a wet, shiny surface around the leak.
REFRIGERANT OIL LEVEL CHECK
When an A/C system is assembled at the factory,
all components (except the compressor) are refriger-
ant oil free. After the system has been charged with
R-12 and operated, the oil in the compressor is dis-
persed through the lines and components. The evap-
orator, condenser, and filter-drier will retain a
significant amount of oil. (Refer to the Refrigerant
Oil Capacities chart). When a component is replaced,
the specified amount of refrigerant oil must be
added. When the compressor is replaced, the amount
of oil that is retained in the rest of the system must
be drained from the replacement compressor. When a
refrigerant line or component has ruptured and it
has released an unknown amount of oil. The A/C
compressor should be removed and drained through
the suction port. The filter-drier must be replaced
along with the ruptured part. Then the oil capacity
of the system (minus the amount of oil still in the re-
maining components) can be poured into the suction
port of the compressor. Example: The evaporator retains 60 ml (2 oz). The
condenser retains 30 ml (1 oz) of oil, and system ca-
pacity may be 214 ml (7.25 oz) of oil. 214 ml minus 90 ml = 124 ml (4.25 oz).
VERIFY REFRIGERANT OIL LEVEL
(1) Using a refrigerant recovery machine, remove
refrigerant from the A/C system. (2) Remove refrigerant lines from A/C compressor.
(3) Remove compressor from vehicle.
(4) From suction port on top of compressor, drain
refrigerant oil from compressor. (5) Add system oil capacity minus the capacity of
components that have not been replaced. Refer to the
Refrigerant Oil Capacity chart. Add oil through suc-
tion port on compressor. (6) Install compressor, connect refrigerant lines,
evacuate, and charge refrigerant system.
