(b) Install the shifting key springs under the shifting keys.
NOTICE:
Position the key springs so that their end gaps are not in
line.
2. INSTALL BALL, THRUST WASHER, 1ST GEAR,
NEEDLE ROLLER BEARING, SYNCHRONIZER RING
AND NO.1 HUB SLEEVE ASSEMBLY TO OUTPUT
SHAFT
(a) Install the ball to the shaft.
(b) Fit the thrust washer groove securely over the locking ball
when installing the thrust on the shaft.
(c) Apply gear oil to the needle roller bearing.
(d) Place the synchronizer ring on the gear and align the ring
slots with the shifting keys.

EVALUATION
ProblemPossible cause
If governor pressure defect.
Line pressure defect
Fluid leakage in governor pressure circuit
Governor valve operation defect
Vehicle speed (Reference)Governor pressure
30 km/h (19 mph)59 - 137 kPa (0.6 - 1.4 kgf/cm2, 9 - 20 psi)
60 km/h (37 mph)186 - 365 kPa (1.9 - 2.7 kgf/cm2, 27 - 38 psi)
90 km/h (56 mph)353 - 431 kPa (3.6 - 4.4 kgf/cm2, 51 - 63 psi)
6. ROAD TEST
NOTICE:
Do this test at normal fluid temperature 50 - 80 °C (122 - 176 °F).
(a) D position test.
Shift into the D position and while driving with the accelerator pedal held constant at the throttle valve
fully open, check on the following points:
(1) Check to seethat the 1"2 and 2"3 up-shifts take placeand also that the shift points conform
to those shown in the automatic shift schedule (See page SS-28).
EVALUATION
ProblemPossible cause
If there is no 1 - 2 up-shift. Governor valve is defective
1 - 2 shift valve is stuck
If there is no 2 - 3 up-shift. 1 - 2 shift valve is stuck
If the shift point is defective. Throttle cable out of adjustment
Throttle valve, 1 - 2 shift valve, 2 - 3 shift valve, etc. are defective
(2) In the same way, check the shock and slip at 1 " 2 and 2 " 3 up-shifts.
EVALUATION
ProblemPossible cause
If the shock is severe.
Line pressure is too high
Accumulator is defective
Check ball is defective
(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).
EVALUATION
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).
(2) Lightly depress the accelerator pedal and check that the engine speed does not change abruptly.

If there is a big jump in engine RPM, there is no lock-up.
(c) 2 position test.
(1) While running in the 2nd gear of the 2 position, release the accelerator pedal and check the en-
gine braking effect.
EVALUATION
ProblemPossible cause
If these is no engine braking effect. 2nd coast brake is defective.
(2) Check the abnormal noise during acceleration and deceleration.
(3) Check the shock during up-shift and down-shift.
(d) L position test.
(1) While running in the L position, check that there is no up-shift to 2nd gear.
(2) While running in the L position, release the accelerator pedal and check the engine braking ef-
fect.
EVALUATION
ProblemPossible cause
If these is no engine braking effect. 1st coast brake is defective.
(3) Check for abnormal noise during acceleration and deceleration.
(e) R position test.
Shift into the R position and, while running at full throttle, check for slipping.
(f) P position test.
Stop the vehicle on a gradient (more than 5°) and, after shifting into the P position, release the parking
brake. Then check to see that the parking lock pawl prevents the vehicle from moving.

2. INSPECT KEY INTERLOCK SOLENOID
(a) Disconnect the solenoid connector.
(b) Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between ter-
minals.
Standard resistance: 12.5 - 16.5 W
If resistance value is not as specified, replace the solenoid.
(c) Apply battery positive voltage between terminals. Check
that the solenoid can be heard operating.
If the solenoid does not operate, replace the solenoid.
