Poor acceleration; flares when starting off in D, D3, and R; stall speed high in R

Diagnostic Procedure:

1. Shift cable broken or out of adjustment

2. 4th clutch defective

Also check for:

- Check for a loose shift cable at the shift lever and the selector control shaft.
- Check the 4th clutch pressure in D and R.
- Inspect the clutch piston, the clutch piston check valve, and the O-rings. Check the spring retainer for wear and damage. Inspect the clearance between the clutch end-plate and the top disc. If the clearance is out of tolerance, inspect the clutch discs and the plates for wear and damage. If the discs are worn or damaged, replace them as a set. Inspect the clutch wave-plate height. If the height is out of tolerance, replace the wave-plate. If the discs and the plates are OK, adjust the clearance with the clutch end-plate.
