Stall Speed Test

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. Ensure transaxle fluid level and engine coolant level is correct. Apply parking brake and chock both rear wheels. Connect a tachometer to engine. Start and run engine until transaxle fluid temperature reaches 158-176°F (70-80°C) and engine coolant temperature reaches 176-212°F (80-100°C).
  2. Place transaxle in Drive, and open throttle to wide open position, and note maximum engine RPM on tachometer. This is torque converter stall speed.
  3. Repeat procedure with transaxle in Reverse. Once stall speed is obtained, place transaxle in Neutral. Operate engine for at least 2 minutes to allow transaxle to cool. Stop engine and place transaxle in Park. Stall speed should be 2100-2600 RPM in Drive and Reverse. Ensure stall speed is as specified. If stall speed is as specified, testing is complete. If stall speed is not as specified, use the following symptoms for trouble shooting results of stall speed tests.
