STATIONARY STEERING EFFORT CHECKM37FFAM
1.With the vehicle stopped on a flat, paved surface, turn the
steering wheel to the straight ahead position.
2. Start the engine and set it to 1,000
+ 100 rpm.d
Caution
After checking the engine speed, there must be a returnto the standard idling speed.
3. Attach a spring balance to the outer circumference of the
steering wheel and measure the steering force required to
turn the steering wheel from the straight ahead position to
the left and right (within a range of 1.5 turns).
Also check to be sure that there is no significant fluctuation
of the required steering force.
Standard value:
Steering effort35 N (8 Ibs.) or less
Fluctuation allowance
6 N (1.3 Ibs.) or less
STEERING WHEEL RETURN TO CENTER CHECK
M37FGACiTo make this test, conduct a road test and check as follows.
1.Make both gradual and,sudden turns and check the steering
“feeling” to be sure that there is no difference in the
steering force required and the wheel return between left
and right turns.
2. At a speed of 35 km/h (22 mph), turn the steering wheel
90”. and release the steering wheel after 1 or 2 seconds. If
the steering wheel then returns 70” or more, the return can
be judged to the satisfactory.
NOTEThere will be a momentary feeling of “heaviness” when the
wheel is turned quickly, but this is not abnormal. (This is
because the oil pump discharge amount is especially apt to
be insufficient during idling.)
V-BELT TENSION CHECKM37FHAJCheck to be sure that the belt is not damaged and that the
V-belt is correctly attached to the groove of the pulley.
NOTEIf there is abnormal noise or belt slippage, check the belt
tension and check for unusual wear or abrasion, or damage, of
the pulley contact surface, and for scars or scratches on the
pulley.d

1.Press in V-belt at the illustrated position with about 100 N
(22 Ibs.) and measure deflection.

I
’ 7 - 8.5 mm (.28 - .33 in.)
2.If the deflection is out of the standard values, adjust the belt
tension using the following procedure.
(1) Loosen the tension pulley’s securing bolts A and
B.(2) Mount the extension bar on the tension pulley.
(3) While increasing the tension of the V-belt with the
extension bar, retighten the tension pulley’s securing
bolts A and B in the order mentioned.
FLUID LEVEL CHECKM37FlAJ
1.Park the vehicle on a flat, level surface, start the engine, and
then turn the steering wheel several times to raise the
temperature of the fluid to approximately 50
- 60°C (122 -
140°F).
2.With the engine running, turn the wheel all the way to the
left and right several times.
3.Check the fluid in the oil reservoir for foaming or milkiness.
Check the difference of the fluid level when the engine is
stopped, and while it is running. If the fluid level changes
considerably, air bleeding should be done.
FLUID REPLACEMENTM37FJAL1. Raise the front wheels on a jack, and then support them
with rigid racks.
2. Disconnect the return hose connection.
3. Connect a vinyl hose to the return hose, and drain the oil
into a container.
4. Disconnect the high-tension cable, and then while operat-
ing the starting motor intermittently, turn the steering
wheel all the way to the left and right several times to drain
all of the fluid.
Caution
Be careful not to position the high-tension cable nearthe carburetor or the delivery pipe.
5.Connect the return hoses securely, and then secure it with
the clip.
6.Fill the oil reservoir with the specified fluid up to the lower
position of the filter, and then bleed the air.
Specified fluid:MITSUBISHI PLUS ATF/Automatic
transmission fluid “DEXRON” or
“DEXRON II”
