Quickly read the stall speed at this time.
Stall speed: 2,300 ± 200 rpm
(7) Do the same test in the R position.
Stall speed: 2,300 ± 200 rpm
EVALUATION
ProblemPossible cause
(a) Stall speed low in D and R positions. Engine output may be insufficient
 Stator one-way clutch is not operating properly
(b) Stall speed high in D position.
 Line pressure too low
 Forward clutch slipping
 No.2 one-way clutch not operating properly
(c) Stall speed high in R position.
 Line pressure too low
 Direct clutch slipping
 1st and reverse brake slipping
(d) Stall speed high in D and R positions. Line pressure too low
 Improper fluid level
4. MEASURE TIME LAG TEST
When the shift lever is shifted while the engine is idling, there will be a certain time elapse or lag before the
shock can be felt. This is used for checking the condition of the forward clutch, direct clutch and 1st and re-
verse brake.
NOTICE:
Do the test at normal operating fluid temperature 50 - 80 °C (122 - 176°F).
Make sure to allow 1 minute interval tests.
Make 3 measurements and take the average value.
(1) Fully apply the parking brake.
(2) Start the engine and check the idle speed.
Idling speed: 750 ± 50 rpm (In N position and A/C OFF)
(3) Shift the shift lever from the N to D position. Using a stop watch, measure the time it takes from
shifting the lever to the shock is felt.
Time lag: Less than 1.2 seconds
(4) In the same way, measure the time lag for N " R.
Time lag: Less than 1.5 seconds
EVALUATION (If N " D time lag are longer than than specified):
ProblemPossible cause
NDti l i l
 Line pressure too low
 Forward clutch worn
N " D time lag is longer Forward clutch worn
 Direct clutch worn

NOTICE:
Do not overfill.
(d) Inspect and adjust the throttle cable.
(1) Depress the accelerator pedal all the way and
check that the throttle valve opens fully.
HINT:
If the throttle valve does not open fully, adjust the accelerator
link.
(2) Fully depress the accelerator.
(3) Loosen the adjustment nuts.
(4) Adjust the outer cable so that the distance between
the end of the boot and the stopper on the cable is
the standard.
Standard boot and cable stopper distance:
0 - 1 mm (0 - 0.04 in.)
(5) Tighten the adjusting nuts.
(6) Recheck the adjustment.
(e) Adjust the shift control cable.
When shifting the shift lever from the N position to other
positions, check that the lever can be shifted smoothly
and accurately to each position and that the position indi-
cator correctly indicates the position.
(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

tion side, tighten the swivel nut.
Torque: 12 N´m (120 kgf´cm, 9 ft´lbf)
(f) Adjust the park/neutral position switch.
If the engine will start with the shift selector in any position other
than the N or P position, adjustment is required.
(1) Loosen the park/neutral position switch bolts and
set the shift selector to the N position.
(2) Align the groove with neutral basic line.
(3) Hold the switch in the position and tighten the bolts.
