ESP NISSAN 300ZX 1984 Z31 Automatic Transmission Workshop Manual

DESCRIPTION OF E4N71B
I
The Model E4N71B automatic transmission is the
latest addition to Niaan's lineup
of transmissions.
This transmission
is based on the model L4N71B
(mounted on the 1983 model 810), and can pro-
vide lockup of
all forward speeds (1st to 4th speed)
by electronic control.
By use of a microcomputer, the electronic-control-
led lockup system permits lockup of
all forward
speeds (1st to 4th speed)
Either shifting pattern ("standard" or "power")
is
automatically selected by programs set in the
lockup control unit depending on the speed
at
which the accelerator pedal is depressed These
programs are
set in response to the vehicle speed
and throttle position

2 Using the shift schedule as a reference, drive
vehicle in
"D" range Record, on symptom
chart, respective vehicle speeds
at which up-
shifting and downshifting occur These speeds
are to be read at several different intake mani-
fold vacuum levels
(see the chart on the next
page). Also determine the timing
at which
shocks are encountered during shifting and
which clutches
are engaged
Drive on different throttle condirtom

3. Check to determine if shifting speed changes
when accelerator pedal
is depressed slowly and
when
it is depressed quickly (E4N71B trans-
mission models)
4 Check to determine if shifting to overdrive gear
cannot be made while power shift switch
(E4N71B transmission) is"0N" or
O.D. cancel
switch (4N71
B transmission) is "OFF".

5. When vehicle is being driven in the 65 to 85
km/h (40 to 53 MPH) range in "Ds" range at
half to light throttle position, fully depress ac-
celerator pedal to make sure
it downshifts from
3rd to 2nd
gear.
6. When vehicle is being driven in the 25 to 35
km/h (16 to 22 MPH) ("D," range) at half to
light throttle position, fully depress accelerator
pedal to make sure
it downshifts from 2nd to
1 st gear
"2" RANGE
1 While vehicle is being driven in "2" range,
make sure that
it does not shift into 1st or 3rd
gear, despite speed changes.
2 Shift control lever to "D" range and allow
vehicle to operate
at 40 to 50 km/h (25 to 31
MPH) Then, shift to "2" range to make sure
it downshifts to 2nd gear.
"1" RANGE
1. Shift control lever to "1" range and allow
vehicle to run. Ensure
that it does not upshift
from 1st to 2nd gear although vehicle speed
increases
2 While vehicle is being driven in "1" range,
release accelerator pedal
to make sure that
engine compression acts
as a brake
3. Shift control lever to "D" or "2" range and
allow vehicle to run
at 20 to 30 km/h (12 to 19
MPH). Then, shift control lever to "1" range to
make sure the downshift to 1st gear is made.

Do not perform tests for more than five

at any shift range.
Do not proceed to next "range" test imrnedi-
ately after one "range"
test is done. Wait until

TROUBLE-SHOOTING AND DIAGNOSES
Stall
The stall test is an effective method of testing
clutch and band holding ability, torque converter
one-way clutch operation, and engine performance
A
stall test should only be performed as a last
resort because of the high fluid temperature it
generates and the excessive load it places on the
engine and transmission.
CAUTION:
a. Transmission and engine fluid levels should
b
c.
d
always be checked and fluid added as needed.
Run engine to
attain proper warm-up.
During test, never
hold throttle wide-open for
more than
5 seconds
Do not test more than two gear ranges without
driving vehicle to
cool off engine and trans-
mission
