Road Test

  1. Before road test, ensure that fluid level, fluid condition and control linkage adjustments are okay. During test, transaxle should upshift or downshift at about same speed as specified. See appropriate SHIFT SPEED SPECIFICATIONS  .
  2. All shifts may vary slightly due to production tolerances or tire size. The quality of the shifts are more important. All shifts should be smooth, responsive and with no slippage or engine flare. Slippage or engine flare in any gear usually indicates clutch or band problems.
  3. The slipping clutch or band in a particular gear can usually be identified by noting transaxle operation in other selector positions and comparing internal units which are applied in these positions. See CLUTCH & BAND APPLICATION  .
