AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (4 A/T) 7B-3
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This automatic transmission is a full automatic type with 3-speed plus overdrive (O/D).
The torque converter is a 3-element, 1-step and 2-phase type equipped with lock-up mechanism. The gear shift
device consists of 2 sets of planetary gear units, sets of 3 disc type clutches, 3sets of disc type brakes and one-
way clutch. The gear shift is done by selecting one of 6 positions (“P”, “R”, “N”, “D”, “2” and “L”) by means of the
select lever installed on the floor. On the shift knob, there is an overdrive (O/D) cut switch which allows shift-up
to the overdrive mode and shift-down from the overdrive mode.

TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM)
TCM is an electronic circuit component that controls gear shift, idle-up according to the signal from each sensor.
Also it has learning control function for performing optimum control. It is a microcomputer consisting of an IC,
transistor, diode, etc. It is installed behind glove box.

STALL TEST
This test is to check overall performance of automatic transmis-
sion and engine by measuring stall speed at “D” and “R” ranges.
Be sure to perform this test only when transmission fluid is at nor-
mal operating temperature and its level is between FULL and
LOW marks.
1) Apply parking brake and block wheels.
2) Install tachometer.
3) Start engine with select lever shifted to “P”.
4) Depress brake pedal fully.
5) Shift select lever to “D” and depress accelerator pedal fully
while watching tachometer. Read engine rpm quickly when it
has become constant (stall speed).
6) Release accelerator pedal immediately after stall speed is
checked.
7) In the same way, check stall speed in “R” range.
8) Stall speed should be within following specification.
Stall speed
: 2,750 – 3,150 r/min CAUTION:
Do not run engine at stall more than 5 seconds contin-
uously, for fluid temperature may rise excessively
high.
After performing stall test, be sure to leave engine run-
ning at idle for longer than 30 seconds before another
stall test.
Test result Possible cause
Lower than
standard levelLack of engine output
Defective torque converter
Higher than
standard level
in “D” rangeLow line pressure
Malfunctioning 1st & 2nd brake
Malfunctioning rear clutch
Malfunctioning stator one-way clutch
Higher than
standard level
in “R” rangeLow line pressure
Malfunctioning rear clutch
Malfunctioning reverse brake
Malfunctioning stator one-way clutch
Malfunctioning direct clutch

TIME LAG TEST
This test is to check conditions of clutch, reverse brake and fluid
pressure. “Time lag” means time elapsed since select lever is
shifted with engine idling till shock is felt.
1) With chocks placed in front and behind front and rear wheels
respectively, depress brake pedal.
2) Start engine.
3) With stop watch ready, shift select lever from “N” to “D”
range and measure time from that moment till shock is felt.
4) Similarly measure time lag by shifting select lever from “N” to
“R” range.
Specification for time lag
“N”
→
→ → → “D” : Less than 1.0 sec.
“N”
→
→→ → “R” : Less than 1.2 sec.
NOTE:
Make sure that selector cable is properly adjusted.
When repeating this test, be sure to wait at least
minute after select lever is shifted back to “N” range.
Engine should be warmed up fully for this test.
Test result Possible cause

“D”
time lag exceeds specification.Low line pressure
Worn rear clutch
Worn 1st & 2nd brake
When “N” →
