INSPECTION
1. INSPECT SYNCHRONIZER RING
(a) Check for wear or damage.
(b) Check the braking effect of the synchronizer ring. Turn the
synchronizer ring in one direction while pushing it to the
gear cone. Check that the ring locks.
If the braking effect is insufficient, apply a small amount of fine
lapping compound between the synchronizer ring and gear
cone. Lightly rub the synchronizer ring and gear cone together.
NOTICE:
Ensure the fine lapping compound is completely washed
off after rubbing.
(c) Check again the braking effect of the synchronizer ring.
(d) Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between
the synchronizer ring back and gear spline end.
Minimum clearance: 0.6 mm (0.024 in.)
If the clearance is less than the minimum, replace the synchro-
nizer ring, and apply a small amount of the fine lapping com-
pound on gear cone.
NOTICE:
Ensure the fine lapping compound is completely washed
off after rubbing.
2. INSPECT SHIFT FORK AND HUB SLEEVE CLEAR-
ANCE
Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the hub
sleeve and shift fork.
Maximum clearance: 1.0 mm (0.039 in.)
If the clearance exceeds the maximum, replace the shift fork or
hub sleeve.

3. INSPECT OUTPUT SHAFT
(a) Check the output shaft for wear or damage.
(b) Using a micrometer, measure the outer diameter of the
output shaft journal surface.
Minimum outer diameter:
Part A: 32.970 mm (1.2980 in.)
Part B: 37.970 mm (1.4949 in.)
Part C: 31.970 mm (1.2587 in.)
If the outer diameter is less than the minimum, replace the out-
put shaft.

(2) Using an ohmmeter, check continuity between each
terminal shown below when the shift lever is put in
each position.
(h) Adjust the shift control cable.
(1) Remove the engine under cover.
(2) Loosen the nut on the control shaft lever.
(3) Push the control shaft lever fully toward the right
side of the vehicle.

(3) Run in the 3rd gear of the D position, check the abnormal noise and vibration.
HINT:
Check for the cause of abnormal noise and vibration must be made with extreme care as they could also
be due to imbalance in the drive shaft, differential, tires and torque converter clutch, etc.
(4) While running in the 3rd gear of the D position, check that the possible kick-down vehicle speed
limits for the 3 " 1 and 3 " 2 kick-down conform to those indicated in the automatic shift sched-
ule (See page SS-28).

ProblemPossible cause
If the possible kick-down vehicle speed limit is defective. Throttle cable out of adjustment
 Throttle valve, 1 - 2 shift valve, 2 - 3 shift valve, etc. are defective
(5) Check the abnormal shock and slip at kick-down.
(6) While running at about 60 km/h (37 mph) in the 3rd gear of the D position, release your foot from
the accelerator pedal and shift into the L position. Then check if the 2 "1 down-shift point con-
forms to that indicated in the automatic shift schedule (See page SS-28).
(b) Inspect the lock-up mechanism.
(1) Drive in the D position at a steady speed (Lock-up ON) of about 65 km/h (40 mph).
