Poor acceleration; flares when starting off in D, D3, S, 2, 1, and R; stall speed high in D, D3, S, 2, and 1 (D, D3, and S in 1st and 2nd)

Low ATF level

Shift cable broken or out of adjustment

ATF pump worn or binding

Regulator valve stuck or spring worn

ATF strainer clogged

Torque converter check valve defective

Notes

Check the line pressure.

Notes

Check the ATF level and check the ATF lines for leaks and loose connections. If necessary, clean the ATF lines.

Notes

Check for a loose shift cable at the shift lever and the transmission control lever.

Notes

Improper alignment of ATF pump and torque converter housing may cause the ATF pump to seize. The symptoms are mostly an rpm-related ticking noise or a high pitched squeak.

Notes

Check the ATF strainer for debris. If the strainer is clogged, find the damaged components that caused the debris. If no cause for contamination is found, replace the torque converter.

Notes

Inspect the differential pinion gears for wear. If the differential pinion gears are worn, replace the differential assembly, replace the ATF strainer, thoroughly clean the transmission, and clean the ATF cooler and ATF lines.

Notes

Check the torque converter check valve in the main valve body for free movement, and check the valve spring for wear and damage.
