The clutches may be tested by applying air pressure to their respective passages. The valve body and oil filter
must be removed and Air Pressure Test Plate 9741 installed. To make air pressure tests, proceed as follows:
Remove oil pan and valve body, Install Test Plate 9741 and tighten bolts to 6 N.m (50 in. lbs.). When testing is
finished install valve body and tighten bolts to 6 N.m (50 in. lbs.), Install the oil pan bolts and tighten to 6 N.m
(50 in. lbs.) and fill transmission. See Transmission and Transfer Case/Automatic - 62TE/FLUID -
Standard Procedure.
OVERDRIVE CLUTCH
Apply air pressure to the overdrive clutch feed hole located on the test plate marked OD, listen for an audible
thud. The piston should return to its starting position when the air pressure is removed.
REVERSE CLUTCH
Apply air pressure to the reverse clutch feed hole located on the test plate marked REV, listen for an audible
thud. The piston should return to its starting position when the air pressure is removed.
2/4 CLUTCH
Apply air pressure to the feed hole located on the test plate marked 2/4 clutch. listen for an audible thud. The
iston should return to its original position after the air pressure is removed.
LOW/REVERSE CLUTCH
Apply air pressure to the low/reverse clutch feed hole located on the test plate marked LR. Then, listen for an
audible thud. The piston should return to its original position after the air pressure is removed.
UNDERDRIVE CLUTCH
Because this clutch piston cannot be seen, its operation is checked by function. Air pressure is applied to the
feed hole located on the test plate marked UD. This locks the output shaft. Use a piece of rubber hose wrapped
around the input shaft and a pair of clamp-on pliers to turn the input shaft. Next apply air pressure to the
underdrive clutch. The input shaft should not rotate with hand torque. Release the air pressure and confirm that
the input shaft will rotate.
DIRECT CLUTCH
Apply air pressure to the feed hole located on the test plate marked DC, listen for an audible thud.
LOW CLUTCH
Appl
air pressure to the feed hole located on the test plate marked LC, listen for an audible thud.
NOTE: The compressed air supply must be free of all dirt and moisture. Use a pressure
of 30 psi.
