Stall Speed Test

NOTE: After each test, shift transaxle into Neutral and run engine for at least 2 minutes to cool torque converter and trans- mission fluid.

CAUTION: DO NOT maintain Wide Open Throttle (WOT) in any gear for more than 5 seconds. If engine RPM exceeds maximum specified stall speed, release accelerator immediately. Clutch or band slippage is indicated.

The stall speed test checks the operation of the following items:

Converter One-Way Clutch
Forward Clutch
Low One-Way Clutch
Reverse Clutch
Low-Intermediate Band
Engine Performance

Apply service and parking brakes. Connect a tachometer to the engine, and record RPMs reached in each gear selector range (except Neutral) at WOT. Stall speed should measure as indicated in STALL SPEED SPECIFICATIONS .

STALL SPEED SPECIFICATIONS

Application	Stall RPM
3.0L V6	1881-2211
3.2L V6	2849-3252
3.8L V6	1791-2097

If stall speeds exceed specification, ensure engine is mechanically okay and tuned to specification. If engine is okay, remove torque converter and check torque converter one-way clutch for slippage.
If stall speed is too high in "OD", "D", "1", the following components may be faulty:
- Forward Clutch
- Low-Intermediate One-Way Clutch
- Low-Intermediate Band or Servo
If stall speed is too high in "R", the following components may be faulty:
- Forward Clutch
- Low-Intermediate One-Way Clutch
- Reverse Clutch
