discs and plates for wear and 
damage. If the discs are worn 
or damaged, replace them as a 
set. Inspect the clutch wave-
plate height. If the height is out 
of tolerance, replace the wave-
plate. If the discs and plates are 
OK, adjust the clearance with 
the clutch end-plate.  

Poor acceleration; stall speed 
low in 2 and 1, and in D in 1st 
and 2nd

wear and damage.  

Replace the torque converter.  

Poor acceleration; stall speed 
low in R

1. Engine output low  

2. Torque converter clutch

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

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

Inspect the ATF strainer for 
clogging with particles of steel 
or aluminum. If the ATF 
strainer is clogged, replace it, 
and clean the torque converter, 
cooler, and lines.  

Check for a stored DTC, and 
check for loose connectors. 
Inspect the shift solenoid valve

Check the ATF level, and drain 
the ATF if necessary.  

Check the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 
and 5th clutch pressures.  

Check the ATF strainer for 
debris. If the ATF strainer is 
clogged with particles of steel 
or aluminum, inspect the ATF 
pump. If the ATF pump is OK, 
find the damaged components 
that caused the debris. If no 
cause for contamination is 
found, replace the torque 
converter.  

Inspect the clutch piston, clutch 
piston check valve, and O-
rings. Check the spring retainer 
and retainer seal (1st, 2nd, and 
3rd) for wear and damage. 
Inspect the clearance between 
the clutch end-plate and the top 
disc. If the clearance is out of 
tolerance, inspect the clutch 
discs and plates for wear and 
damage. If the discs are worn 
or damaged, replace them as a 
set. Inspect the clutch wave-
plate height. If the height is out 
of tolerance, replace the wave-
plate. If the discs and plates are 
OK, adjust the clearance with 
the clutch end-plate.  

Inspect the 1st clutch feed pipe. 
If the 1st clutch feed pipe is 
scored, replace the end cover.  

Inspect the 3rd clutch feed 
pipe. If the 3rd clutch feed pipe

under the feed pipe guide.  

Replace the secondary shaft if 
the bushing for the 1st or 3rd 
clutch feed pipe is loose or 
damaged.  

Inspect the 5th clutch feed 
pipe. If the 5th clutch feed pipe 
is scored, replace it and the O-
ring under the feed pipe guide. 

Replace the mainshaft if the 
bushing for the 5th clutch feed 
pipe is loose or damaged.  

Late shift after shifting from N

Inspect the clutch piston, clutch 
piston check valve, and O-
rings. Check the spring retainer

between the clutch end-plate 
and the top disc. If the 
clearance is out of tolerance, 
inspect the clutch discs and 
plates for wear and damage. If 
the discs are worn or damaged, 
replace them as a set. Inspect 
the clutch wave-plate height. If 
the height is out of tolerance, 
replace the wave-plate. If the
