INSPECTION
SPROCKETS, TENSIONER, IDLER
1. Check the camshaft sprocket and crankshaft sprocket, tensioner pulley and idler pulley for abnormal wear, cracks,
or damage. Replace as necessary.
2. Inspect the tensioner and the idler for easy and smooth rotation and check for play or noise. Replace as necessary.

INSPECT OVERRUNNING CLUTCH
1.Slide the overrunning clutch along the shaft.
Replace it if does not slide smoothly.
2. Rotate the overrunning clutch both ways.
Does it lock in one direction and rotate smoothly in reverse? If it does not lock in either direction of it locks in both
directions, replace it.
3.If the starter drive gear is worn or damaged, replace the overrunning clutch assembly. (the gear is not available
separately).
Check the condition of the flywheel or torque converter ring gear if the starter drive gear teeth are damaged.
CLEANING
1.Do not immerse parts in cleaning solvent. Immersing the yoke assembly and/or armature will damage the
insulation. Wipe these parts with a cloth only.
2. Do not immerse the drive unit in cleaning solvent. The overrun clutch is pre- lubricated at the factory and solvent
will wash lubrication from the clutch.
3. The drive unit may be cleaned with a brush moistened with cleaning solvent and wiped dry with a cloth.

TORQUE CONVERTER STALL TEST
This test measures the maximum engine speed when the selector lever is in the D or R position. The torque converter
stalls to test the operation of the torque converter, starter motor, one- way clutch operation, the holding performance of
the clutches, and brakes in the transaxle.
Do not let anybody stand in front of or behind the vehicle while this test is being carried out
1. Check the automatic transmission fluid level and temperature, and the engine coolant temperature.
a. Fluid level : At the HOT mark on the oil level gauge
b. Fluid temperature : 80~100°C (176~212°F)
c. Engine coolant temperature : 80~100°C(176~212°F)
2. Prevent all the wheels from moving during the test.
3. Pull the parking brake lever up, with the brake pedal fully depressed.
4. Start the engine.
Page 368 of 1575

5.Move the selector lever to the "D" position, fully depress the accelerator pedal and take a reading of the maximum
engine speed at this time.
Stall speed : 2,100~2,900rpm
a.The throttle should not be left fully open for any more than five seconds.
b. If carrying out the stall test two or more times, move the selector lever to the "N" position and run the
engine at 1,000 r/min to let the automatic transaxle fluid cool down before carrying out subsequent tests.
6. Move the selector lever to the "R" position and carry out the same test again.
TORQUE CONVERTER STALL TEST CONCLUSION
1.Stall speed is too high in both "D" and "R" ranges
a. Low line pressure
b. Low & reverse brake(B) slippage
2. Stall speed is to high in "D" range only
a. Underdrive clutch(C) slippage
3. Stall speed is too high in "R" range only
a. Reverse clutch(A) slippage
4. Stall speed too low in both "D" and "R" ranges
a. Malfunction of torque converter(D)
b. Insufficient engine output
HYDRAULIC PRESSURE TEST
1.Warm up the engine until the automatic transaxle fluid temperature is 80- 100°C.
2. Lift up the vehicle so that the wheels are free to turn.
3. Connect the special tool (oil pressure gauge) to each pressure discharge port.
4. Measure the hydraulic pressure at each port under the conditions given in the standard hydraulic pressure table,
and check that the measured values are within the standard value ranges.
5. If a value is outside the standard range, correct the problem while referring to the hydraulic pressure test diagnosis
table.
