Road TestS7RS0B5104011
This test is to check if upshift, downshift and lock-up take place at specified speeds while actually driving vehicle on a
level road.
WARNING!
• Carry out test in very little traffic area to prevent an accident.
• Test requires 2 persons, a driver and a tester.
1) Warm up engine.
2) With engine running at idle, shift select lever “D” range.
3) Accelerate vehicle speed by depressing accelerator pedal gradually.
4) While driving in “D” range, check if gear shift and lock-up occur properly as shown in “Automatic Gear Shift Table”.

Engine Brake TestS7RS0B5104013
WARNING!
Before test, make sure that there is no vehicle behind so as to prevent rear-end collision.
1) While driving vehicle in 3rd gear of “D” range, shift select lever down to “2” range and check if engine brake
operates.
2) In the same way as in Step 1), check engine brake for operation when select lever is shifted down to “L” range.
3) Engine brake should operate in the test.
Troubleshooting
Stall TestS7RS0B5104014
This test is to check overall performance of automatic tr ansaxle and engine by measuring stall speed at “D” and “R”
ranges. Be sure to perform this test only when transaxle fluid is at normal operating temperature and its level is
between FULL and LOW marks.
CAUTION!
• Do not run engine at stall more than 5 seconds continuously, or fluid temperature may rise excessively high.
• After performing stall test, be su re to leave engine running at idle for longer than 1 minute before
another stall test.
1) Apply parking brake and block wheels.
2) Install tachometer.
3) Start engine with select lever shifted to “P” range.
4) Depress brake pedal fully.
5) Shift select lever to “D” range and depress accelerator pedal fully while watching tachometer. Read engine rpm quickly when it has become constant (stall speed).
6) Release accelerator pedal immediately after stall speed is checked.
7) In the same way, check stall speed in “R” range.
8) Stall speed should be withi n the following specification.
Engine stall speed
Standard: 2100 – 2400 rpm Condition Possible cause Correction / Reference Item
Operated gear is not
correct Faulty valve body component
Replace valve body assembly.
Faulty clutch or brake Inspect clutch and brake. If any parts are faulty,
replace them.
Condition Possible cause Correction / Reference Item
Failure to operate when
shifted down to “2” range Faulty valve body component
Replace valve body assembly.
Faulty O/D and 2nd coast brake Inspect. If NG, replace.
Failure to operate when
shifted down to “L” range Faulty valve body component
Replace valve body assembly.
Faulty 1st and reverse brake Inspect. If NG, replace.

Troubleshooting
Time Lag TestS7RS0B5104015
This test is to check conditions of clutch, brake and fluid pressure. “Time lag” means time elapsed since select lever is
shifted with engine idling till shock is felt.
1) With chocks placed before and behind front and rear wheels respectively, depress brake pedal.
2) Start engine.
3) With stop watch ready, shift select lever from “N” to “D” range an d measure time from that moment till shock is felt.
4) Similarly measure time lag by shifting select lever from “N” to “R” range.
Gear shifting time lag
“N” → “D”: Less than 0.7 sec.
“N” → “R”: Less than 1.2 sec.
NOTE
• When repeating this test, be sure to wait at least one minute after select lever is shifted back to “N”
range.
• Engine should be warmed up fully for this test.
• Repeat test 3 times and take average of those data for final time lag data.

Clutch
General Description
Clutch ConstructionS7RS0B5301001
The clutch is a diaphragm spring clutch of a dry single disc type. The diaphragm spring is of a tapering-finger type,
which is a solid ring in the outer diameter part, with a series of tapered fingers pointing inward.
The disc, carrying four torsional coil springs, is positione d on the transaxle input shaft with an involute spline fit.
The clutch cover is secured to the flywheel, and carries the diaphragm spring in such a way that the peripheral edge
part of the spring pushes on the pressure plate against the flywheel (with the disc in between), when the clutch release
bearing is held back. This is the engaged condition of the clutch.
Depressing the clutch pedal c auses the release bearing to advance and pushes on the tips of the tapered fingers of
the diaphragm spring. When this happens, the diaphragm sp ring pulls the pressure plate away from the flywheel,
thereby interrupting the flow of drive from flywheel through clutch disc to transaxle input shaft. Clutch fluid is supplied
from brake fluid reservoir. Clutch fluid level can be checked by brake fluid level of brake fluid reservoir.

Clutch Release Margin “C”1) Pull up parking brake fully and block wheels.
2) Start engine and keep engine at idle with neutral gear position.
3) Without clutch pedal (1) dep ressed, slightly push the
shift lever to re verse position until transaxle emits
gear contact noise. Do not shift the lever to reverse
position.
4) With emitting gear contact noise, be slow to depress clutch pedal (1), and at gear contact noise died
position (release point) stop depressing.
5) Measure distance between release point (4) and full stroke point (5) on clutch pedal (1) which is shown by
“C” in figure.
Clutch release margin
“C”: 25 – 55 mm (0.98 – 2.17 in.)
6) If “C” is not within specificat ion, it is possible that air
is trapped in this system. If suspected so, bleed air
referring to “Air Bleeding of Clutch System”. Upon
completion of above inspection, start engine and
check clutch for proper operation.
Clutch Fluid Level InspectionS7RS0B5306002
Refer to “Brake Fluid Level Inspection in Section 4A”.
Clutch fluid specification
: Refer to reservoir cap.
Air Bleeding of Clutch SystemS7RS0B5306003
CAUTION!
Brake fluid is extremely damaging to paint. If
fluid should accidentally touch painted
surface, immediately wipe fluid from paint
and clean painted surface.
Bleeding operation is necessary to remove air whenever
it entered hydraulic clutch system.
1) Fill master cylinder reservoir with brake fluid and keep at least one-half full of fluid during bleeding
operation.
Brake Fluid
Refer to reservoir cap
2) Remove bleeder plug cap from clutch operating cylinder (3). Attach a vinyl tube (1) to bleeder plug
(4), and insert the other end into container (2).
