Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Trans line pressure info

[SEmerson]

Does any one have the pics that where on dtt's old web site? I am looking for the ones that show the vb line presure adjustment and the plug to test the pressure. I have don it before but have since forgot.

As far as the test port for line pressure it's on the passenger's side in the middle of the transmission and pointing forward, the forward one is the front servo, the one on the back pointing to the rear is rear servo and the one above the rear servo is the Governor test port. With the pan off, on the drivers side the line pressure nut is the Allen head and it's flush with a metal tab that is attached at 3 points, you want to turn it counter clockwise or loosen it 1 round for every 3 PSI you would like to increase. A 1/4 Allen wrench with half the elbow chopped off will be required to do the adjustment. Sorry I don't have a pic as it didn't get from the camera to the computer.

Good discription. Thanks

When should you test presure? Driving? or in park? I tested in park before. But I am not sure that is the right time.

In Drive, you will not read pressure in Park, nor will you read reverse pressure from that point, also I bought a 3" nipple a 45 and a 1/2 nipple a 6 ft hose and a guage so I can install it then run the hose into the truck clearing the exhaust and hang it on the OH I TRIED TO BY-PASS THE CUSSING FILTER handle to watch line pressure rise while driving and going into lockup... . It's the extreme way but it also doubles as a fuel pressure tester checking WOT pressure.

I have a question that perhaps someone can help with. Originally on the DTT site, the pressure adjustment was approx. 3psi for each turn of the screw; in the shop manual from D/C, it mentions 1 2/3 psi for each turn... . anyone know which is right for sure? If you turn it to what you think is the correct amount and the limit for a stock trans, it could easily be way over or under.

I could dig it up and fax it to you if you still want it
