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.

NOTE: Use the A/T Pressure Gauge Set (07406-
OO2O0O3) or A/T Low Pressure Gauge (07406-
OOTOOOO), and the A/T pressure gauge hoses and adap-
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.

and top disc with a dial indicator. Zero the dial indi-
cator with the clutch end plate lowered and lift it up
to the snap ring. The distance that the clutch endplate moves is the clearance between the clutch endplate and top disc.
NOTEi Measure at three locations.
Clutch End Plate-to-ToD Disc Clearance:

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:
Service Limit:
Measur€ment from steD 5
Measurementfrom step 4 =--
For example:
7.8 N.m (0.8 kgf.m)
zg N"ll (03 kgf'ntl = z'ot > z''
Repeat step 3 through 6 for the other wheel.
Replace the limited slip differential assembly if the
rotsting lorque is lower than the service limit.

The Integra SRS includes a driver's airbag located in the steering wheel hub and a passenger's airbag located inthe dashboard above the glove box,
Information necessary to safely service the SRS is included in this Service Manual. ltems marked with an asterisk(*) on the contents page include, or are located near, SRS components. Servicing, dissssembling or replacing
these items will require special pr6cautions and tools, and should therefore be done by an authorized Acura dealer.
. To avoid rondoring ths SRS inoparstivo. which could |rad to parsonal iniury or doath in the ov€nt of ! sev6.o

NOTE: The original radio has a coded theft protection circuit. Be sure to get the customer's code number before- disconn€cting the battery.- removing the No. 47 (7.5 A) fuse from the under-hood fuse/relay box,- removing the radio.
After service, reconnect power to the radio and turn it on. When the word "CODE" is displayed. enter the cus-
tomer's 5-digit code to restore radio operation.

SRS components are located in this area. Review the SRS component locations, precautions, and procedures in the SRSsection (23) before performing repairs or service.
Note the following special precautions when the steering gearbox removal/installation,
. Before removing the steering gearbox, remove the driver's airbag assembly and steering wheel.
. After installing the steering gearbox, ch6ck the wheel alignmentand adjust if necessary.

Inspection and Adjustment
Steering Operation
Place the front wheels in the straight ahead position and
measure the distance the steering wheel can be turned
without moving the front wheels.
ROTATIONAL PLAY: 0 - 10 mm {0 - 0.39 inl
lf the play exceeds the service limit. perform rack guide
adiustment (see page 17-211.
lf the play is still excessive after rack guide adjustment.
inspect the steering linkage and gearbox as described
on the neld page.
Power Assist Check with
Vehicle Parked
Check the power steering fluid level (see page 17-
21) and pump belt tension (see page 17-201.
Start the engine, allow it to idle. and turn the steer
ing wheel from lock-to-lock several times to warm
up the fluid.
Attach a spring scale to the steering wheel. With the
engine idling and the car on a clean. dry floor. pull
the scale as shown and read it as soon as the tires
begin to turn,
4. The scale should read no more than 34 N (3.5 kgf,
7.7 lbf). lf it reads more, check the gearbox and
pump.
