Worn oil pump.
Oil strainer blocked.
Fluid leak from each clutch hydraulic circuit.
Drive hydraulic circuit failure.
Forward clutch failure.
Reverse hydraulic circuit failure. Reverse clutch failure.
First and reverse brake failure.
WARNINGS:
A Do not maintain wide open throttle (WOT)
in any range for more than five seconds.
A If the engine speed (rpm) recorded by the
tachometer exceeds maximum specified
rpm, release the accelerator pedal
immediately. Clutch or band slippage is
indicated.
N0TE:The stall speed test should be carried out
with the engine and transaxle at normal operating
temperatures (50°C to 80°C).

CAUTIONS:
A Always carry out the line pressure test
before carrying out the stall speed test. If
the line pressure is low at idle, do not carry
out the stall speed test or further transaxle
damage will occur.
A After testing each of the following ranges
'D'
(DRIVE) and 'R' (REVERSE), move the
selector lever to
'N' (NEUTRAL) and run
the engine at 1000 rpm for approximately
one minute to allow the torque converter
to cool.
2. Press the accelerator pedal to the floor WOT in
each selected range. Record the rpm reached
in each selected range and refer to the stall
speed chart.
3. If the stall speed is not within specification, refer
to the stall speed diagnosis chart.
