Stall Speed Test Precautions

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 13 other vehicles, including the 2003 Mazda B4000, 2003 Mazda B3000, 2003 Mazda B2300, 2002 Mazda B4000, and 2002 Mazda B3000. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Engine coolant and transmission fluid must be at normal operating temperatures. Linkages must be adjusted properly. Hold accelerator down just long enough to get a stable tachometer reading.
  2. DO NOT exceed maximum specified RPM for vehicle. Before shifting into each gearshift lever position, run engine in Neutral at 1000 RPM for 15 seconds to cool transmission. If engine speed exceeds specification, release accelerator immediately, as this is an indication of clutch or band slippage.
