Pressure Testing
a While testing, be careJulot the rotating front wheels.
a Make sule litts, iacks, and safety stands are placed
properly (see section 1).
CAUTION: Befoie testing, be sure the transmission fluid
is filled to the proper level.
'1. Raise the vehicle {see section 'll.
2. Warm up the engine (the radiator fan comes on),
then stop the engine and connect a tachometer.
3. Connect the special tool to each inspection hole(s).
TOROUE: 18 N.m l1-8 kgt.m, 13lbf.ftl
CAUTION: Connect the A/T pressure gauge secure-
ly, be sure not to allow dust and olher foreign pani-
cles to enter the inspection hole.

ters shown above.
4. Start the engine, and measure the respective pres
sures as follows.
a Line Pressure
a Clutch Pressure
a Clutch Low/High Pressure
a Throttle B Pressure
5. Install a new sealing washer and the sealing bolt in
the inspection hole and tighten to the specified
torque.
TOROUE:18 N.m (1.8 kgf.m, 13lbf.ft)
NOTE: Do not reuse old sealing washers; alwaysreplace washers.
Line Pressure Measurement
-1. Set the parking brake, and block both rear wheels
securely.
-2. Run the engine at 2,000 rpm
3. Shift to S or @ position.
4. lMeasure line pressure.

Operational Check
Set the parking brake and block the rear wheels.
Raise the front of the vehicle, and support it with
safety stands in the proper locations (see section 1).
With the engine off, shift the transmission into lstgear,
Rotate either front wheel bv hand and check that
the other wheel rotates in the opposite direction.
lf the opposite tront wheel does not rotste, or if voucannot spin the front wheels at all, the limited slip
differential is faulty and should be roplaced.
Rotating Torque Check
Setting parking brake and block the rear wheels.
Raise the front of the vehicle, and support it with
safety stands in proper locations (see section 1).
With the engine off, shift the transmission into
Neutral.
Measure the rotating torque with a beam-type
torquo wrench in the direction shown, Rotate the
torque wrench morg than two complete turns and
take the maximum reading.
Shift the transmission into 1st gear and measure
the rotating torque again.
Calculate the rotating torque:

Replace the limited slip differential assembly if the
rotsting lorque is lower than the service limit.

Removal (cont'd)
Remove the cotter pin from the ball joint pin and
remove the nut.
Install the 10 mm hex nut on the ball ioint.
Be sure that the 10 mm hex nut is flush with the ball
joint pin end, or the threaded section of the ball
joint pin might be damaged by the ball joint re-
mover.
NOTE: Remove the ball joint using the special tool.
Refer to section 18 for the ball joint remover usage
instructions.
Separate the tie-rod ball ioint and knuckle using the
special tool.
CAUTION: Avoid damaging th. ball ioint boot.
