LINE PRESSURE
1.
Set parking brake, block drive wheels, then position selector lever in Neutral.
2.
Attach oil pressure gauge and adapter 09452-21000 or equivalent, to line pressure take-off port, Fig. 3.
3.
Start engine and allow to reach normal operating temperature.
4.
Position selector lever in Drive, accelerate engine to 2500 RPM, then place throttle control cable in wide open position and observe pressure
gauge.
5.
Line pressure should be 98-100 psi. If pressure is not as specified, proceed as follows:
a. Raise and support vehicle, then remove oil pan, filter and filter plate.
b. Disconnect throttle control cable from throttle cam.
c. Remove valve body attaching bolts and valve body. Use caution to prevent dropping valve body or accumulator springs.
d. Adjust line pressure by turning adjusting screw at regulator valve clockwise (decrease pressure) or counterclockwise (increase pressure) as
required. One complete turn of screw will change line pressure approximately 4 psi.
e. Ensure O-rings are correctly positioned on top of valve body, then install accumulator springs.
f.
Install valve body assembly, ensuring groove of manual valve fits onto manual control shaft detent plate pin. Torque attaching bolts to 8 ft.
lbs.
g. Install oil filter. Torque flange bolts to 4-5 ft. lbs.
h. Reconnect throttle control cable to throttle cam.
i.
Install oil pan using new gasket, then torque attaching bolts to 8 ft. lbs.
j.
Refill transaxle.
KICKDOWN BAND
1.
Wipe dirt from servo cover, then remove snap ring and cover.
2.
Loosen locknut, then while preventing servo piston from turning, torque adjusting screw to 7 ft. lbs.
3.
Loosen adjusting screw, then repeat step 2.
4.
Loosen adjusting screw, retorque to 3.5 ft. lbs., then back off screw 3-1/2 to 3-3/4 turns.
5.
While preventing adjusting screw from turning, torque locknut to 13 ft. lbs.
6.
Install new seal ring into servo cover, then install cover and snap ring.
