July 1: So it begins. Don't worry, this is not in the correct legal jurisdiction!

Direct Clutch Pressure Test

NOTE: Shift quality is affected when test gauges are attached to transmission. DO NOT  accelerate or decelerate rapidly during test. Transmission failure could result.
  1. Attach pressure gauges capable of reading 300 psi (21.1 kg/cm2 ) to the forward clutch pressure tap and the direct clutch pressure tap. See Figure. Mount gauges inside vehicle.
  2. Drive vehicle. When pressure is applied to the direct clutch, note pressure difference between forward clutch pressure reading and direct clutch pressure reading.
  3. If the difference is less than 15 psi (1.05 kg/cm2 ), direct clutch circuit is okay. If difference is greater than specification, there is a leak in direct clutch pressure circuit. Repair as necessary.
