Pressure Testing
(cont'd)
Line Pressure/1st Clutch Pressurc Measurement
1. Set the parking brake, and btock both rear wheels securely.
2. Start the engine, and run it at 2,OOO rpm.
3. Shift to N or E position, then measure line pressure.
NoTE: Higher pressure may be indicated if measurements are made in shift lever positions other than @ or @ positron.
4. Shift to tq;l position, hold the engine at 2,000 rpm, and measure 1st crutch pressure.

25. Refill the transmission with ATF (see page 14_1.18).
26. Connect the positive (+) cable first. then the nega-tive (-) cable to the battery.
27. Check the ignition timing (see section 23).
28. Start the engine. Set the parking brake, and shift thetransmission through all gears. three times. Checkthe shift cable adjustment (see page 14_190).
29, Check the front wheel alignment (see section 1g).
30. Let the engine reach operating temperature (thecooling fan comes on) with the transmission in Nor @ position, then turn it off and check the fluidlevel (see page 14- 7).
31. Road test as described on pages 14-113 thru ,14_116.

@ Make sure lifts are ptaced properly (see
section 1).
1. Remove the front console (see section Z0l.
2. Shift to @ position. then remove the lock pin fromthe adiuster.

3. Check that the hole in the adjuster is perfectlyaligned with the hole in the shift cable. There aretwo holes in the adjuster. They are positioned 90.apart to allow cable adjustment in 1/4 turn incre-ments.
ExactAlignment
4. lf the hole is not perfectly aligned, loosen the lock-nut on the adjuster and adjust as required.
5. Tighten the tocknut to 7 N.m (0.7 kgf.m, 5 tbf.ft).
6. Install the lock pin on the adjuster. lf you feel thelock pin binding as you reinstall it, the cable is stillout of adjustment and must be readjusted.
7. Make sure the lock pin is seated in the adjustersecuretv.
8. Move the shift lever to each gear, and verify that theshift position indicator follows the automatic trans-axle gear position switch.
9. Start the engine, and check the shift lever in allgears. lf any gear does not work properly, refer totroubleshooting (see page 14-109 thru 1'4-'112).
10. Insert the ignition key into the key cylinder on theAy'T gear position indicator panel, and verify that theshift lock lever is released.
