Air Pressure Checks: Notes
- Condition of "No Drive" (no movement of output shaft) can exist, even with correct transmission fluid pressure. Inoperative clutches or bands may cause this problem.
- Inoperative units can be located through series of checks by substituting air pressure for fluid pressure to determine location of malfunction.
- Loosen oil pan bolts and allow transmission fluid to drain. Remove oil pan and control valve body. Apply air at points indicated. See Fig 1
. Minimum of 40 psi or maximum of 90 psi is needed to pressure check transmission.
