CAUTION
• The throttle should not be fully open for any more than

• If you repeat the stall test when the fluid temperature is
greater than 80°C (176°F) move the selector lever to the

• Low line pressure
• Low-reverse brake slippage and malfunction of the one-way

2. Stall speed is too high in "D" range only
• Underdrive clutch slippage
3. Stall speed is too high in "R" range only
• Reverse clutch slippage
• Low-reverse brake slippage
