CHECKING
OIL
LEVEL

In

checking
the
automatic
transmis

sion

the
o
illevel
and
the
condition
of

oil
around
the
oil
level

gauge
should
be

examined
This
is

an

easy
and
effective

trouble

shooting

procedure
since

some

changes
in
oil
condition

are
often

linked
with

developed
troubles

For
instance

Lack
of
oil
causes

faulty
operation

by
making
the
clutches
and

brakes

slip
resulting
in

severe
wear

This
is
because
the
oil

pump
sucks

air

causing
oil

foaming
thus

rapidly

deteriorating
the
oil

quality
and

pro

ducing
sludge
and

varnish

Excessive
oil
is

also
bad
because
of

oil

foaming
caused

by
the

gears

stirring

up
the
oil

During
high
speed

driving

excessive

oil
in

the

transmission
often

blows
out

from
the
breather

The
condition
of

oil

sticking
to
the

level

gauge
indicates
whether
to
over

haul
and

repair
the
transmission

or

look
for
the

faulty

part

If
the

Notes

a
In

checking

use

special

paper

to
handle
the

and
be
careful
not
to
let
the

OF
OIL
LEAKAGE

When

leakage
takes

place
the

portion
near
the

leakage
is
covered

with
oil

presenting
difficulty
in

detecting
the

spot
Therefore

places
where

are

determine
if
