2WD Mode
- Shifts may vary slightly due to production tolerances or tire size. See appropriate SHIFT SPEED SPECIFICATIONS table. The important factor is quality of shifts. All shifts should be smooth, responsive, and with no slippage or engine speed runaway. Slippage or engine runaway in any gear usually indicates clutch or band problems.
- The slipping clutch or band in a particular gear can usually be identified by noting transaxle operation in other selector positions and comparing internal units which are applied in these positions. See CLUTCH & BAND APPLICATION (ELEMENTS IN USE) table.
- Practically any condition can be caused by leaking hydraulic circuits or sticking valves. Unless an obvious condition exists, transaxle should not be disassembled until hydraulic pressure tests have been performed. 4WD Mode - With vehicle in 4WD mode, turn vehicle in a circle while lightly depressing accelerator pedal. Shift vehicle into 2WD mode. A slight shifting shock should be felt. If an abnormality occurs in 4WD mode, check line pressure in transfer clutch circuit.
