. Lock-up Control Solenoid Valve A: ON
. Lock-up Control Solenoid Valve B: ON
o Linear Solenoid Pressure: High
When the vehicle speed further increases. the linear
solenoid pressure is increased to high in accordance
with the linear solenoid controlled bv the PCM.
The lock-up timing valve overcomes the spring force
and moves to the left side. Also, this valve closes the
fluid port leading to the left side of the lock-up control
Under this condition. the modulator pressure in the left
side of the lock-up control valve had already been
released by the lock-up control solenoid valve B; the
lock-up control valve js moved to the left side. As this
takes place, the torque converter back pressure is
released fully. causing the lock-up clutch to be engaged
fully.
NOTE: When used, "|eft" or "right" indicates direction
on the hvdraulic circuit.

set idle rpm in gear to specified idle speed. lf still no good, adjust motor mounts as outlined in enginesection of this manual.
lf the clutch pack is seized or is excessively worn. inspect the other clutches for wear, and check the orificecontrol valves, CPC valve and linear solenoid for free movement.
lf the linear solenoid is stuck, inspect the clutches for wear.
lmproper alignment or main valve body and torque converter housing may cause ATF pump seizure. Thesymptoms are mostly an rpm-related ticking noise or a high-pitched squeak.
lf the l st clutch feed pipe guide in the end cover is scored by the mainshaft, inspect the ball bearing forexcessive movement in the transmission housing. lf oK, replace the end cover as it is dented. The o-rinounder the guide is probably worn.
Replace the mainshaft if the bushing for the 4th feed pipe is loose or damaged. lf the 4th feed pipe is danFaged or out of round, replace the right side cover.
Replace the mainshaft if the bushing for the 1st feed pipe is loose or damaged. lf the 1st feed pipe is darn-aged or out of round, replace it.
A worn or damaged sprag clutch is mostly a result of shifting the transmission inthe wheels rotate in reverse, such as rocking the vehicle in snow.
or E position while
Inspect for damage and wear:
1. Reverse selector gear teeth chamfers.
2. Engagement teeth chamfers of countershaft 4th and reverse gear.
3. Shift fork for scuff marks in center.
4. Differential pinion shaft for wear u nder pin ion gears.
5. Bottom of 3rd clutch for swirl marks.
Replace items 1,2,3 and 4 if worn or damaged. lf transmission makes a clicking, grinding orwhirring noise,also replace mainshaft 4th gear, reverse idler gear. and countershaft 4th gear in addition to 1, 2, 3 or 4.lf differential pinion shaft is worn, overhaul differential assembly, and replace ATF strainer, and thoroughlyclean transmission, flush torque converter, cooler and lines.lf bottom of 3rd clutch is swirled and transmission makes gear noise, replace the countershaft and final drivengear.
Be very careful not to damage the torque converter housing when replacing the main ball bearing, you
may also damage the ATF pump when you torque down the main valve body. This will result in ATF pumpseizure if not detected. Use the oroper roors.
Install the main seal flush with the torque converter housing. lf you push it into the torque converterhousing until it bottoms out, it will block the fluid return passage and result in damage.
See flushing procedure, page 14-187 and 188.
lf the large clutch piston O-ring is broken, inspect the piston groove for rough machining.
lf the l-2 shift valve is stuck closed, the transmission will not upshift. lf stuck open, the transmission hasno 1st gear.
lf the znd orifice control valve is stuck. inspect the 2nd and 3rd clutch oacks for wear.
lf the 3-4 orifice control valve is stuck, inspect the 3rd and 4th clutch oacks for wear.
lf the clutch pressure control valve is stuck closed, the transmission will not shift out of 1st gear.
lf the ATF strainer is clogged with particles of steel or aluminum, inspect the ATF pump and differentialpinion shaft. lf both are OK and no cause for the contamination is found, replace the torque converter.
Inspect the frame for collision damage.

Road Test
NOTE: Warm up the engine to normal operating tem peratu re (the rad iator fan comes on )'
1. Apply parking brake and block the wheels. Start the engine, then shift to E position while depressing the brake
Dedal, Depress the accelerator pedal and release it suddenly. The engine should not stall'
2. Repeat same test in E Position.
3. Test-drive the vehicle on a flat road in the E position. Check that the shift points occur at approximate speeds shown
in the table. Also check for abnormal noise and clutch slippage.
NOTE: Throttle position sensor voltage represents the throttle opening
a. Unbolt the PCM for road testing; refer to page 14-50.
b. Setthedigital multimeter to check the th rottle position sensor voltage between PCM terminals;

CAUTION:
. To prev€nt transmission damage, do not t6st stall speed for more than ro sgconds at a time.. Do not shift the levor while raising the engine speed.. Bo sule lo remove the pressure gauge betoro testing stall speed.
'1. Engage the parking brake, and block the front wheels.
2. Connect a tachometer to the engine, and start the engine.
3. Make sure the Ay'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 g seconds, and note engine speed.
6. Allow two minutes for cooling, then repeat the test in @ and @ positions.
