- Attach 8T-0855 Pressure Gauge to "Port M" (2) .
- Start the engine. Run the engine at high idle.
- Pressure reading should be 1380 kPa to 1590 kPa (200 psi to 230 psi).
- As you observe this pressure reading, move speed selector switch (3) to "Speed 2" (5). The pressure should drop momentarily. The pressure should then stabilize from 1380 kPa (200 psi) to 1590 kPa (230 psi).

- As you observe this pressure reading, move speed selector switch (3) to "Speed 3" (6). The pressure should drop momentarily. The pressure should then stabilize from 1380 kPa (200 psi) to 1590 kPa (230 psi).
- Stop the engine.
- Remove the test equipment.
Note: Pressure is not adjustable, but the pressure test will give an indication of the performance of the transmission. Refer to the troubleshooting section of this manual for a possible solution to a transmission failure.
