Evaluation
At normal operating fluid temperature, 50 to 80° C (122 to l76° F), reverse engagement should take approximately 1.4 seconds. Drive engagement from reverse should take approximately 1.0 seconds. Reverse and drive engagements should be immediate but not harsh. If reverse or drive is slow to engage or seems too harsh, refer to "Line Pressure Test" in "Transmission and Drivetrain/Automatic Transmission/Transaxle".
