Hydraulic Pressure Adjustments
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
NOTE:
Valve body cover must be removed for oil pressure adjustment. Check oil pressure before attempting pressure adjustment. See HYDRAULIC PRESSURE TESTS
.
- Raise and support vehicle. Drain transaxle fluid. Remove valve body cover. See appropriate SERVICING article in AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS. Note location of pressure adjusting screw. See Fig 1 . Rotate pressure adjusting screw clockwise to decrease pressure, and counterclockwise to increase pressure.
- Rotating pressure adjusting screw one revolution will change oil pressure about 5.1 psi (35 kPa). The standard value for oil pressure should be 147-152 psi (1010-1050 kPa). After adjusting oil pressure, apply a continuous bead of silicone sealant to mating surface of valve body cover and install to transaxle. Install retaining bolts and tighten to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . Refill transaxle and recheck oil pressure. Repeat procedure until pressure is at proper specification.
