(1) EPC readings will vary due to EEC strategy. These values are approximate pressures. Actual clutch apply pressures should be within 0-103 kPa (0-15 psi) of line pressure. For additional information on testing, refer to the CLUTCH PRESSURE TESTΒ  in this section.

The Clutch Pressure Test will diagnose a low-pressure condition or leakage in a clutch circuit. A difference of 103 kPa (15 psi) or more between the clutch pressure and line pressure will prevent a normal shift.

    WARNING: If equipped with fire suppression system, refer to FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM for Important Safety Warnings.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • β€’ You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • β€’ Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • β€’ The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • β€’ You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • β€’ You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
