8. Start the engine. With the engine idling maintain the fluid level.
9. Raise the front wheels off the ground.
10. Slowly turn the steering wheel lock-to-lock 20 times with the engine off while checking the fluid level.
NOTE: For vehicles with long return lines or oil coolers turn wheel 40 times.
11. Lower the front wheels and let the engine idle for two minutes.
12. Turn the steering wheel in both direction and verify power assist and quiet operation of the pump.
If the fluid is extremely foamy or milky looking, allow the vehicle to standa few minutes and repeat the procedure.

FLOW AND PRESSURE TEST - AT POWER STEERING GEAR
NOTE: This test should only be done if necessary
after completing the Pump Flow And Pressure Test
1. Remove Analyzer from pump and pressure hose to
fan. Reattach pressure hose to pump.
2. Assemble Power Steering Analyzer as follows :
a. Gauge end (inlet) of Flow Meter And Gauge
6800 – Hose 6959, Adapter Fitting 9091-4
b. Valve end (outlet) of Flow Meter And Gauge
6800 – Hose 6905, Hose 6713, Adapter Tube
9091-2
3. Unthread pressure hose tube nut from power steer-
ing gear.
4. Connect power steering pressure hose to Adapter
Fitting 9091-4.
5. Connect Adapter Tube 9091-2 to power steering
gear.
6. Open Analyzer test valve completely.
7. Start engine and allow to idle long enough to circulate power steering fluid through Analyzer flow meter and
hoses.
8. Shut off engine and check fluid level; add fluid as necessary. Repeat Step7andStep8untilairisbledfrom
system.
9. Start engine and allow to idle.
10. Check Analyzer gauge pressure. Initial pressure reading should be 345-552 kPa (50-80 psi). If pressure is
higher, inspect hoses for restrictions and repair as necessary.
11. Increase engine speed to 1500 RPM and read Analyzer Flow Meter. The reading should be 2.4 - 2.8 GPM. If
flow reading is below specification, replace hydraulic fan.
CAUTION: This next step involves testing maximum fan motor steering relief pressure. Do not leave the
valve closed for more than three seconds.
12. Close Analyzer valve fully three times for three seconds each time and record highest pressure indicated on
Analyzer gauge each time. All three readings must be within fan motor steering relief pressure specifications.
13. Completely open test valve and turn steering wheel to the extreme left and right positions against stops. Record
the highest pressure readings at each position. If pressure readings are not within 50 psi from each other, the
gear is leaking internally and must be replaced.

ambient temperature.
1. Fill the pump fluid reservoir to the proper level and let the fluid settlefor at least two minutes.
2. Start the engine and let run for a few seconds then turn engine off.
3. Add fluid if necessary. Repeat the above procedure until the fluid levelremains constant after running the engine.
4. Raise the front wheels off the ground.
5. Slowly turn the steering wheel right and left, lightly contacting the wheel stops at least 20 times.
6. Check the fluid level add if necessary.
7. Lower the vehicle, start the engine, and use the DRB III to activate the hydraulic fan on full fan operation.
8. Turn the steering wheel slowly from lock to lock.
9. Stop the engine, check the fluid level and refill as required and repeat the process
CAUTION: Do not run a vehicle with foamy fluid for an extended period. This may cause pump damage.
10. If the fluid is extremely foamy or milky looking, allow the vehicle to stand a few minutes and repeat the pro-
cedure.
11. While the vehicle is in park, use the DRB III to activate the hydraulic fan to full fan operation and briefly rev the
engine up to 3000 rpm to fully engage the hydraulic fan.
12. Check the fluid level add if necessary.

FIRST GEAR POWERFLOW
In first gear range, torque input is through the underdrive clutch (1) to the underdrive hub assembly. The underdrive
hub is splined to the rear sun gear. When the underdrive clutch is applied, it rotates the underdrive hub and rear
sun gear. The L/R clutch (2) is applied to hold the front carrier/rear annulus assembly. The rear sun gear drives the
rear planetary pinion gears. The rear planetary pinion gears are forced towalk around the inside of the stationary
rear annulus gear. The pinions are pinned to the rear carrier and cause the rear carrier assembly to rotate as they
walk around the annulus gear. This provides the torque output for first gear. The other planetary gearset compo-
nents are freewheeling. The first gear ratio is 2.84:1.

2 - LOW-REVERSE CLUTCH APPLIED (Holds Rear Annulus/Front Carrier)

HYDRAULIC PRESSURE TESTS
Pressure testing is a very important step in the diag-
nostic procedure. These tests usually reveal the cause
of most transmission problems.
Before performing pressure tests, be certain that fluid
level and condition, and shift cable adjustments have
been checked and approved. Fluid must be at operat-
ing temperature (150 to 200 degrees F.).
Install an engine tachometer, raise vehicle on hoist
which allows the wheels to turn, and position tachom-
eter so it can be read.
Using special adapters L-4559, attach 300 psi
gauge(s) C-3293SP to the port(s) required for test
being conducted.
Test port locations are shown in the Pressure Taps
graphic.

circuit and shift schedule.
1. Attach pressure gauge to the low/reverse clutch tap.
2. Move selector lever to the MANUAL 1 position.
3. Allow vehicle wheels to turn and increase throttle opening to achieve anindicatedvehiclespeedto20mph.
4. Low/reverse clutch pressure should read 115 to 145 psi.
TEST TWO - SELECTOR IN MANUAL 2 (Second Gear)
NOTE: This test checks the underdrive clutch hydraulic circuit as well as the shift schedule.
1. Attach gauge to the underdrive clutch tap.
2. Move selector lever to the MANUAL 2 position.
3. Allow vehicle wheels to turn and increase throttle opening to achieve anindicated vehicle speed of 30 mph.
4. In second gear the underdrive clutch pressure should read 110 to 145 psi.
