Stall Speed
Test
CAUTION:
. To prevent transmission damage, do not test stall sp€€d for mole than 10 seconds at a time.
. Do not shift the lsver whils raising the engine speod.
. Be sure lo remove the pressure gauge before tosting stall speed.
. Stall speed tssts should be used tor diagnostic purposes only,
1. Engage the parking brake, and block the tront wheels.
2. Connect a tachometer to the engine, and stan the engine.
3. Make sure the A/C switch is OFF.
4. After the engine has warmed up to normal operating temperature (the radiator fan comes on), shift into E position.
5. Fully depress the brake pedal and accelerator for 6 to 8 seconds, and note engine speed,
6. Allow two minutes for cooling, then repeat the test in E, E, and E positions.
Stall Speed BPM in E poshion:
Specification: 2,500 rpm
Servic€ Limit: 2,350 - 2.650 rpm
Stall Speed RPM in E, E and E positions:
Specitication: 3,000 rpm
Service Limit: 2,800 - 3,100 rpm
TROUBLEPROBABLE CAUSE

Start the engine.
Shift to the respective shift lever positions in the table, and measure the following pressures at 1'500 rpm'
. Forward Clutch Pressure
. Reverse Brake Pressure
. Drive Pulley Pressure
. Driven Pulley Pressure
8. Shift to E posltion, and measure the lubrication pressure at 3,000 rpm'
Disconnect the special tool after pressure testlng
Install the sealing boits in the jnspection holes with new sealing washers, and tighten the bolts to the specified
