face of converter housing and transmission case.
2. Start engine, apply foot brake, place selector lever in ªDº posi-
tion and wait a few minutes.
3. Stop engine.
4. Check for fresh leakage.

5. Start engine, apply foot brake, and place selector lever in ªDº
position.
6. Accelerate to wide open throttle gradually while applying foot
brake.
7. Quickly note the engine stall revolution and immediately
release throttle.
IDuring test, never hold throttle wide open for more than 5
seconds.
Stall revolution:
Refer to SDS, AT-356.

8. Move selector lever to ªNº position.
9. Cool off ATF.
IRun engine at idle for at least one minute.
10. Repeat steps 5 through 9 with selector lever in ª2º, ª1º and ªRº
positions.
JUDGEMENT OF STALL TESTNBAT0022S02The test result and possible damaged components relating to each
result are shown in the illustration. In order to pinpoint the possible
damaged components, refer to ªWork Flowº, AT-57.
NOTE:
Stall revolution is too high in ªDº or ª2º position:
ISlippage occurs in 1st gear but not in 2nd and 3rd gears. .....
Low one-way clutch slippage
ISlippage occurs at the following gears:
1st through 3rd gears in ªDº position and engine brake func-
tions.
1st and 2nd gears in ª2º position and engine brake functions
with accelerator pedal released (fully closed throttle). ..... For-
ward clutch or forward one-way clutch slippage
Stall revolution is too high in ªRº position:
IEngine brake does not function in ª1º position. ..... Low &
reverse brake slippage
IEngine brake functions in ª1º position. ..... Reverse clutch slip-
page
Stall revolution within specifications:
IVehicle does not achieve speed of more than 80 km/h (50
MPH). ..... One-way clutch seizure in torque converter housing
CAUTION:
Be careful since automatic fluid temperature increases abnor-
mally.
ISlippage occurs in 3rd and 4th gears in ªDº position. ..... High
clutch slippage
ISlippage occurs in 2nd and 4th gear in ªDº position. ..... Brake
band slippage
Stall revolution less than specifications:
IPoor acceleration during starts. ..... One-way clutch seizure in
torque converter
