CAUTION:
. To prevent transmission damage, do not te3t stall speed for mors than 10 s€€onds at a time'
. Do not shift the lever while raising th€ engine spsed.

1. Before testing, check the transmission fluid level, s€e page 14-160.
2. Engage the parking brake and block all four wheels
3. Connect the tachometer, and start the engane.
