  1. Using a high volume rubber tipped blow gun, apply air pressure to the suspect clutch port for 2-3 seconds.

    • A dull thud indicates the clutch piston is applied.

    • A hissing noise may indicate a leak in the hydraulic passages.

  2. While holding the blow gun nozzle firmly against the port in the transmission case, release the trigger.
  3. Wait 1-2 seconds.

    • A hissing noise may indicate a leak in the hydraulic passages.

  4. Remove the blow gun from the port.

    • A sudden release of air pressure indicates the hydraulic passages are capable of holding pressure.

    • No noise may indicate a leak in the hydraulic passages.
