Test Procedure
- Engine and transmission must be at normal operating temperature. Start engine and ensure idle RPM is within specification. See IDLE SPEED SPECIFICATIONS table.
- Apply service and parking brakes. Using stop watch, measure time until engagement shock is felt when selector lever is shifted from "N" to "D". Allow one minute interval between tests. Perform time measurements 2 more times and calculate average value. Time should be less than 1.2 seconds.
- Use same procedure to test time lag when selector lever is moved from "N" to "R". Time lag should be less than 1.5 seconds.
