General Testing

Automatic transaxle malfunctions may be caused by four general conditions:
1. Poor engine performance
2. Improper adjustments
3. Hydraulic malfunctions
4. Mechanical malfunctions

Diagnosis of these problems should always begin by checking the easily accessible variables; fluid level and condition, gearshift cable adjustment, and throttle pressure cable adjustment. Then perform a road test to determine if the problem has been corrected or that more diagnosis is necessary. If the problem exists after the preliminary tests and corrections are completed, hydraulic pressure tests should be performed
