7.Turn the adjustment screw of the regulator valve and adjustso that the line pressure
(kickdown brake pressure) a,becomes the standard value.
When the adjustment screw is turned to the clockwise, the
Lline pressure becomes lower; when it is turned to
counter-clockwise, it becomes higher.
Standard value:

8. Check to be sure that the O-ring is installed on the upper
surface of the valve body at the place shown in the figure.

3. Remove the torque converter.
4. Measuring input shaft end play before disassembly will
usually indicate when a thrust washer change is required
(except when major parts are replaced). Thrust washers arelocated between reaction shaft support and rear clutch

seated against end of input shaft.
When checking end play, pull out or push in the input shaft
with pliers. Be careful not to scratch the input shaft. Record

HEATERS AND AIR CONDITIONING - Service Adjustment Procedures 241$19Oil collector can
2OAO464DISCHARGING SYSTEM
Since the air conditioning refrigerant system is pressurized, it
will be necessary to completely discharge the system (in a wellventilated area) before replacing any refrigerant component.
The procedure is as follows:
(1) Install manifold gauge set. Make sure the gauge set valves
are closed before attaching the hoses to the refrigerant
system.(2) Install a long hose to the manifold gauge set connector.
Run this hose to the oil collector can near a shop exhaust
system.A good oil collector can may be made from a large empty
coffee can with a plastic top. Slit the plastic top in the formof a
Y to make an entrance for the refrigerant hose and an
exit for the gas.
(3) Open the compressor discharge and suction line pressure
valves and blow the refrigerant into the oil collector can.
Watch to make sure the hose does not blow out of the
collector can.
(4) When the system has been completely discharged, mea-
sure the amount of oil collected in the can. The amount of
oil measured should be added to the refrigerant system
before it is re-charged. Add new oil-discard the used oil.
CautionIt is important to have the correct amount of oil in the
refrigerant system.
Too little oil will provide inadequate compressor lubrication
and cause a compressor failure. Too much oil will increasedischarge air temperature.
When a IOPAI 7 compressor is installed at the factory, it
contains 80 cc (4.8
cu.in.) of refrigerant oil. While the air
conditioning system is in operation, the oil is carried
through the entire system by the refrigerant.
Some of this oil will be trapped and retained in various partsof the system.
When the following system components are changed, it is
necessary to add oil to the system to replace the oil being
removed with the component.
Compressor:30 cc (1.8 cu.in.1
Condenser:20 cc (1.2 cu.in.1
Evaporator:30 cc (1.8 cu.in.)
Piping:10 cc (.6 cu.in.1Receiver drier: 10 cc
