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.
