If fluid level is low, add specified fluid to bring level within cross-hatched area at operating temperature.
If fluid is contaminated, disassemble, clean, and service transmission, flushing torque converter and cooler.
Perform Stall Test. If noise does not stop,check extension housing bushing,seal or propshaft. If noise stops, proceed as follows:
Run transmission in all gears and check for noise.
If noise does not stop in any gear, remove speedometer gear and check for noise. If noise stops, replace speedometer gear.
planetary and/or one-way clutch.
If noise stops in 2nd, High, and R only, service reverse planetary.
If noise stops in High only, service both planetary sets.
