Pressure Testing
@I While testing, be caroful of th€ rotating front wheels.
. Make sure lifts, iacks, and satoty stands are placod properly (see section 1)'
CAUTION:
. Beforo iesting, be sure the transmission fluid is tilled to tho proper level'
. Warm up tho engine before testing'
1. Raise the vehicle (see section 1).
2. Warm up the engine, then stop the engine and connect a tachometer'
3. Connect the oil pressure gauges to each inspection hole.
TOROUE: 18 N.m (1.8 kgf'm, 13 lbnft)
cAUTloN: connact the oil pressuro gauges securely; be suro not to allow dust and other foreign Parlicles to entel

Disassembly/lnspection/Reassembly
NOTE:
. cleanall parts thoroughly in solvent or carburetor cleaner, and drywith compressed air. Blowoutall passages
. Replace the valve body as an assembly if any parts are worn or damaged.
. check allvalves for free movement. lf anyfail toslidetreely, see valve Body Repairon page 1+139.
1. Hold the regulator spring cap in place while removing the stop bolt. once the stop bolt is removed. release the spring
cap slowly.
CAUTION: The regulator 3pring cap can pop out when the stop boh is removod'
2. Reassembly is the reverse order ofths disassembly procedure.
NOTE:
o Coat all parts with ATF during assembly.
. Align the hole in the regulator spring cap with the hole in the valve body, then press the spring cap into the valve
body, and tighten the stop bolt.
