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 sur-
face of converter housing and transmission case.
2. Start engine, apply foot brake, place selector lever in ªDº posi-
tion and wait a few minutes.
3. Stop engine.
4. Check for fresh leakage.
FLUID CONDITION CHECK

Dark or black with burned odor Wear of frictional material
Milky pinkWater contamination Ð Road water enter-
ing through filler tube or breather

heating
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.
IIt 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.
IDuring test, never hold throttle wide open for more than 5
seconds.
Stall revolution:
2,450 - 2,700 rpm

5. Bleed the air from the rear brake piping.
6. To adjust the LSV correctly, proceed as follows:
a. With unladen vehicle (12 liters of fuel, radiator coolant and
engine oil are full). Spare tire, hand tools and mats in desig-
nated positions. Check the length of LSV spring ªLº.
b. If the spring length is different from that specified, move the
regulation lever (2) until the specified value is obtained. Move
the LSV lever (1) until it contacts the stopper bolt and recheck
the spring length.
Sensor spring length ªLº
Hardtop: 201 mm (7.913 in)
Wagon: 197.5 mm (7.776 in)
NOTE: Do not disturb stopper bolt.
c. Start the engine and run it at idling speed.
d. Slowly depress the brake pedal until an input pressure of 4,805
kPa (48.1 bar, 49 kg/cm
2, 697 psi) is obtained (at the front axle
pressure gauge) and an output pressure of 1,736 - 2,501 kPa
(18 - 26 bar, 17.7 - 25.5 kg/cm
2, 252 - 363 psi) is obtained (at
the rear axle pressure gauge).
If the output pressure at the rear axle pressure gauge is not within
the specified values, adjust LSV spring length as described under
b) until the output pressure measured is within the specified range.
Unit: kPa (bar, kg/cm2, psi)
Front axle* 4,805 (48.1, 49.0, 697)

OPERATING CHECK
IDepress brake pedal several times with engine off, and check
that there is no change in pedal stroke.
IDepress brake pedal, then start engine. If pedal goes down
slightly, operation is normal.
AIRTIGHT CHECK
IStart engine, and stop it after one or two minutes. Depress
brake pedal several times slowly. If pedal goes further down the
first time and gradually rises after second or third time, booster
is airtight.
IDepress brake pedal while engine is running, and stop engine
with pedal depressed. If there is no change in pedal stroke after
holding pedal down30 seconds, brake booster is airtight.
OUTPUT ROD LENGTH CHECK
1. Apply vacuum of þ66.7 kPa (þ667 mbar, þ500 mmHg, þ19.69
inHg) to brake booster with a manual vacuum pump and check
output rod length ªAº.
Specified length ªAº:
22.15 - 22.45 mm (0.872 - 0.884 in)
(The length ªAº in this case is the distance from end of output
rod to outside of brake booster, when the specified vacuum is
applied.)
