Stall Speed Test: Notes

CAUTION:
  • Perform the line pressure test at engine idling prior to performing the test at engine stall. If line pressure is low at idle do not perform the test at engine stall or further transaxle damage will occur.
  1. Perform mechanical system test preparation. (See MECHANICAL SYSTEM TEST PREPARATION  .)
  2. Connect a tachometer.
  3. Start the engine.

    CAUTION:
    • Do not maintain WOT in any gear range for more than 5 seconds or transaxle damage will occur.
    • If engine speed recorded by the tachometer exceeds maximum specified rpm, release the accelerator pedal immediately. Clutch or band slippage is indicator.
  5. Firmly depress the brake pedal with the left foot, and gently depress the accelerator pedal to the floor (WOT) with the right.
