STEP 3 (TIME LAG TEST)
When the selector lever is shifted while the engine is idling, there is a certain time lapse, or time lag,
before shock is felt. This time lag test checks the condition of the front, rear, and one-way clutch, low
and reverse brake, and orifice check valve.
Preparation
Follow the test preparation procedure shown in STEP 2 (STALL TEST).
Procedure
1. Start the engine and verify that the idle speed is 950tso rpm.
2. Shift from N range to D range
3. Measure the time it takes from shifting until shock is felt with a stop watch.
4. Shift the selector to N range and run the engine at idle for one minute or more.
5. Perform the test for N range to R range in the same manner.
Note
Make three measurements for each test and take the average value.
Specified time lag: N D range 0.5—1.0 second
N R range 0.5—1.0 second

STEP 4 (ROAD TEST)
This step is performed to check for problems in the various ranges. If these tests show any problems,
adjust or replace by referring to the QUICK DIAGNOSIS CHART and mechanical sections.
Caution
Perform the test at normal ATF operating temperature (50—80°C, 122—176°F).
Gearshift Function Check Items
1. Shift shock must be minimal, and shifting must be smooth.
2. Engine speed must not run away, and the shifting must not be delayed.
3. Transaxle must shift through Di D2 -»• D3 in D range.
4. Transaxle must shift from 3rd in D range to 2nd gear when 2 range is selected.
5. Transaxle must shift from 2nd to 1st when 1 range is selected from 3rd gear in D range.
6. Transaxle must not upshift in 1 range.
7. Transaxle must remain in 2nd gear in 2 range.
8. Transaxle must positively lock in P range.
The transaxle must positively lock when P range is selected while moving at a speed below 4 km/h
(2.5 mph) on level ground. The transaxle must positively lock when set in P range with the vehicle
on a gentle slope and the brakes disengaged.

6. Ensure that the ATF level is between the F and L
marks. Add ATF to specification, if necessary.
ATF type: Dexron II or M II!
Inspection of Condition
1. Check the ATF for discoloration.
2. Check the ATF for any unusual smell.
Note
Determine whether or not the automatic trans-
mission should be disassembled by observ-
ing the condition of fluid carefully.
If the fluid is muddy and varnished, it indicates
burned drive plates.
SELECTOR LEVER

shown in the figure.
2. Make sure there is a click at each range when shift-
ed from P <-• 1 range.
3. Check that the positions of the selector lever and
the indicator are exact.
4. Check that the button returns smoothly when used
to shift the selector.
Adjustment
1. Shift the selector lever to the P range.
2. Loosen locknuts A, B, and C.
3. Shift the transaxle to P range by moving the man-
ual shaft of the transaxle.
