7B1-38 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (4 A/T)
Stall Test
This test is to check overall performance of automatic transmission and engine by measuring stall speed at “D”
and “R” ranges. Be sure to perform this test only when transmission fluid is at normal 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 the following specification.
Stall speed :
2,460 – 2,760 r/min.
TROUBLESHOOTING
CAUTION:
Do not run engine at stall more than 5 seconds continuously, for fluid temperature may rise exces-
sively high.
After performing stall test, be sure to leave engine running at idle for longer than 30 seconds before
another stall test.
Condition Possible cause
Lower than standard level•Faulty engine output
•Defective torque converter
Higher than standard level in “D” range•Slippery O/D clutch
•Slippery forward clutch
•Malfunctioning O/D one-way clutch
•Malfunctioning one-way clutch No. 2
•Low line pressure
Higher than standard level in “R” range•Slippery direct clutch
•Slippery reverse brake
•Low fluid pressure
•Slippery O/D clutch
•Defective O/D one-way clutch

A/T Throttle Cable
ADJUSTMENT
1) Pull inner cable (3) by force of 2 N (0.2 kg, 0.45 lb) or less to
be no slack of inner cable with A/T throttle cable (1) curved
as shown in the figure.
2) Fix stopper (2) to inner cable (3) with clearance “c”.
A/T throttle cable adjusting position (clearance “c”) :
0.8 – 1.5 mm (0.03 – 0.06 in.)
3) Warm up engine and transmission to normal operating tem-
perature.
4) Make sure that accelerator cable is adjusted as specified.
5) With throttle valve closed, check clearance “c”, which should
be within the following specification, of A/T throttle cable (1).
If it is out of specification, adjust it by turning cable adjusting
nut (2).
A/T throttle cable adjusting position (clearance “c”) :
0.8 – 1.5 mm (0.03 – 0.06 in.)
6) Tighten lock nut (3) securely.
Solenoid Valves (Shift Solenoid Valves and
TCC Solenoid Valve)
INSPECTION
With PCM couplers disconnected and using service wire as
shown in the figure, check each solenoid valve for clicking sound.

SELECT CABLE
ADJUSTMENT
1) Loosen manual shift lever (select cable side) nut (1).
2) Shift select lever to “N” range.
3) Align center line (2) on manual valve shaft (3) to “N” refer-
ence line (4) as shown.
4) Tighten manual shift lever nut (selector cable side) (1) as
specified torque.
Tightening torque
Manual shift lever nut (a) :
23 N·m (2.3 kg-m, 17.0 lb-ft)
5) After select cable was installed, check for the following.
•Push vehicle with selector lever shifted to “P” range.
Vehicle should not move.
•Vehicle can not be driven in “N” range.
•Vehicle can be driven in “D”, “2” and “L” ranges.
•Vehicle can be backed in “R” range.
