NOTE:
Due to the difficulty of feeling converter clutch shift, a tachometer and/or vacuum gauge MUST be connected to engine.
- To check converter for engagement and disengagement, drive vehicle at approximately 50 MPH in overdrive and lightly tap brake pedal. Engine RPM and vacuum should increase when clutch disengages. Engine RPM will decrease about 5 seconds after pedal is released. If this does not occur, see AUTO TRANS DIAGNOSIS - FORD E40D ELECTRONIC CONTROLS article.
- Stop vehicle. If vehicle stalls at idle in overdrive, shift transmission to 1st gear. If vehicle stalls in 1st gear, repair or replace converter control valve in pump. If vehicle does not stall in 1st gear, see AUTO TRANS DIAGNOSIS - FORD E40D ELECTRONIC CONTROLS article.
