Shift Mechanism
The automatic transmission uses compact, dual planetary gear systems to improve power-transmission
efficiency, simplify construction and reduce weight.
It also employs an optimum shift control and superwide gear ratios. They improve starting performance and
acceleration during medium and high-speed operation.
Two one-way clutches are also employed: one is used for the forward clutch and the other for the low clutch.
These one-way clutches, combined with four accumulators, reduce shifting shock to a minimum.

A/T Fluid Check
FLUID LEAKAGE CHECK
1. Clean area suspected of leaking. Ð for example, mating
surface of converter housing and transmission case.
2. Start engine, apply foot brake, place selector lever in ªDº
position and wait a few minutes.
3. Stop engine.
4. Check for fresh leakage.
FLUID CONDITION CHECK
Fluid color Suspected problem
Dark or black with burned odor Wear of frictional material
Milky pinkWater contamination Ð Road water
entering through filler tube or breather
Varnished fluid, light to dark brown
and tackyOxidation Ð Over or under filling, Ð
Overheating
FLUID LEVEL CHECK
Refer to MA section (ªChecking A/T Fluidº, ªCHASSIS AND
BODY MAINTENANCEº).
Stall Test
STALL TEST PROCEDURE
1. Check A/T and engine fluid levels. If necessary, add.
2. Drive vehicle for approx. 10 minutes or until engine oil and
ATF reach operating temperature.
ATF operating temperature:
50 - 80ÉC (122 - 176ÉF)
3. Set parking brake and block wheels.
4. Install a tachometer where it can be seen by driver during
test.
+It is good practice to put a mark on point of specified
engine rpm on indicator.
5. Start engine, apply foot brake, and place selector lever in ªDº
position.
6. Accelerate to wide open throttle gradually while applying foot
brake.
7. Quickly note the engine stall revolution and immediately
release throttle.
+During test, never hold throttle wide open for more than
5 seconds.
Stall revolution:
2,480 - 2,680 rpm

4. Set parking brake and block wheels.
+Continue to depress brake pedal fully while line pressure
test is being performed at stall speed.
5. Start engine and measure line pressure at idle and stall
speed.
+When measuring line pressure at stall speed, follow the
stall test procedure.
Line pressure:
Refer to SDS, AT-1207.
JUDGEMENT OF LINE PRESSURE TEST
Judgement Suspected parts
At idleLine pressure is low in all
positions.+Oil pump wear
+Control piston damage
+Pressure regulator valve or plug sticking
+Spring for pressure regulator valve damaged
+A/T fluid pressure leakage between oil strainer and pressure regulator valve
+Clogged strainer
Line pressure is low in par-
ticular position.+Fluid pressure leakage between manual valve and particular clutch
+For example, line pressure is:
Ð Low in ªRº and ª1º positions, but
Ð Normal in ªDº and ª2º positions.
Then, fluid leakage exists at or around low and reverse brake circuit.
Refer to ªCLUTCH AND BAND CHARTº, AT-1025.
Line pressure is high.+Mal-adjustment of throttle position sensor
+A/T fluid temperature sensor damaged
+Line pressure solenoid valve sticking
+Short circuit of line pressure solenoid valve circuit
+Pressure modifier valve sticking
+Pressure regulator valve or plug sticking
+Open in dropping resistor circuit
At stall speedLine pressure is low.+Mal-adjustment of throttle position sensor
+Line pressure solenoid valve sticking
+Short circuit of line pressure solenoid valve circuit
+Pressure regulator valve or plug sticking
+Pressure modifier valve sticking
+Pilot valve sticking
