operations based on the specified pattern in accordance
with the degree of throttle opening and vehicle speed.

ON-VEHICLE SERVICE (AW30 –40LE) 7A3-13

Measure Stall Speed
1. Chock the four wheels.
2. Mount an engine tachometer.
3. Fully apply the parking brake.
4. Step down strongly on the brake pedal with your left foot.
5. Start the engine.
6. Turn off the A/C.
7. Shift into the “D" range. Step all the way down on
the accelerator pedal with your right foot. Quickl
y
read the highest engine rpm.
Stall speed: 2100






150 rpm
8. Perform the same test in the “R" range.
Evaluation

1. If the engine speed is the same for both ranges but
lower than the specified value:
 Engine output is insufficient.
 Stator one-way clutch is not operating properly.
NOTE: If more than 600 rpm below the specified value,
the torque converter could be faulty.
2. If the stall speed in “D" range is higher than
specified:
 Line pressure too low
 Forward clutch slipping
 No.2 one-way clutch not operating properly
3. If the stall speed in “R" range is higher than
specified:
 Line pressure too low
 Direct clutch slipping
 No.3 brake slipping
4. If the stall speed in the “R" and “D" ranges are
higher than specified:
 Line pressure too low
 Improper fluid level

Time Lag Test



F07RY00003
If the shift lever is shifted while the engine is idling,
there will be a certain time elapse or lag before the
shock can be felt. This is used for checking the
condition of the forward clutch, direct clutch, No.3
brake, and No.2 one-way clutch.
NOTE:
1. Perform the test at normal operation fluid
temperature (50 – 80 C or 122 – 176 F)
2. Be sure to allow one minute interval between tests.
3. Make three measurements and take the average value.

7A3-14 ON-VEHICLE SERVICE (AW30 –40LE)

Measure Time Lag
1. Fully apply the parking brake.
2. Start the engine. Check idling speed (A/C OFF).
3. Shift the shift lever from “N" to “D" range. Using a
stopwatch, measure the time it takes from shifting
the lever until the shock is felt.
Time lag: Less than 0.7 seconds
4. In same manner, measure the time lag for “N"


“R".
Time lag: Less than 1.2 seconds
Evaluation
1. If “N" 
“ D" time lag is longer than specified:

Line pressure too low
 Forward clutch malfunction
 No.2 one-way clutch not operating properly
2. If “N" 
“ R" time lag is longer than specified:

Line pressure too low
 Direct clutch malfunction
 No.3 brake malfunction
3. If both time lag is longer than specified:

Line pressure too low

Hydraulic Test



RUW37ALH000201
Preparation

1. Warm up the transmission fluid.
2. Remove the transmission case test plug and mount the hydraulic pressure gauge.
Oil pressure gauge: J –29770 –A
NOTE: Perform the test at normal operation fluid
temperature (50 – 80 
C or 122 – 176 
F).

Removal
Preparation:

Disconnect negative ( –) battery cable.
 Drain the fluid.
Refer to ATF REPLACEMENT in this section.
1. Remove oil lever gage and oil filler tube.
2. Support transfer case (4
4) or rear cover (42)
with a transmission jack.
3. Remove engine rear mounting nuts.


F07RW008
4. Remove fule pipe heat protector on tansmission
corssmenber.
5. Remove fuel pipe from the crossmenber.
6. Remove transmission crossmenber.
7. Remove the nineteen bolts.
8. Remove oil pan, using seal cutter J –37228.



RUW37ASH002901

NOTE: Do not turn over the transmission as this will
contaminate the valve body with foreign materials in the
bottom of the oil pan.
Remove oil pan by lifting the transmission case.
Oil pan seal cutter: J –37228
Examine particles in oil pan
Remove the magnet and use it to collect any steel
chips.
Look carefully at the chips and particles in the oil
pan and on the magnet to anticipate what type o
f
wear you will find in the transmission:
Steel (magnetic) ..................bearing, gear and
clutch plate wear
Brass (non-magnetic) ..........bushing wear

Major Components
Disassembly, inspection and reassembly of each
component group is indicated in the following chapter.
Before reassembly, make sure, again, that all
component groups are assembled correctly.
If something wrong is found in a certain component
group during assembly, inspect and repair this group
immediately.
General Assembly Notes:
1. The automatic transmission is composed of highly
precision-finished parts, necessitating careful
inspection before assembly because even a small
nick could cause fluid leakage or affect
performance.


2. Before assembling new clutch discs and brake
bands, soak them in automatic transmission fluid fo
r
at least thirty minutes.
3.
Apply automatic transmission fluid on the sliding or
rotating surfaces of parts before assembly.
4. Use petroleum jelly to keep small parts in thei
r
palces.
5. Do not use adhesive cements on gaskets and similar parts.
6. When assembling the transmission, be sure to use new gaskets and O-rings.
7. Dry all parts with compressed air - never use shop rags.
8. Be sure to install the thrust bearings and races in the correct direction and position.
