Road Test

This check will determine if governor pressure and shift control valves are functioning properly.

1. Check minimum throttle upshifts in Drive. Transaxle should start in 1st gear, shift to 2nd, and then shift to 3rd at approximately the speeds shown in ATX SHIFT SPEEDS  .
2. With transaxle in 3rd, depress accelerator pedal to floor. Transaxle should shift from 3rd to 2nd or 1st, depending on vehicle speed. See ATX SHIFT SPEEDS  .
3. Check closed throttle downshifts from 3rd to 1st by coasting down from approximately 30 MPH in 3rd gear. Shift should occur at approximate speed shown in ATX SHIFT SPEEDS  .
   NOTE: Specifications given below are approximate. All shift speeds may vary somewhat due to production tolerances, rear axle ratios or emission control equipment.
4. With transaxle in 3rd and road speed above 30 MPH. transaxle should shift to 2nd gear when selector lever is moved from 3rd to 1st. Transaxle will shift into 1st when road speed is less than 30 MPH. When transaxle is shifted from Drive to 2nd, it should shift into 2nd gear regardless of vehicle speed.
   NOTE: When "2" is selected, transaxle will operate in 1st and 2nd gears.
