Diagnostic Procedure:

1. Shift solenoid valve C defective

2. Shift cable broken or out of adjustment

3. Reverse CPC valve defective

4. 5th accumulator defective

5. 5th clutch defective

Also check for:

- Check for a stored DTC, and check for loose connectors. Inspect the O-ring, and check for a seized shift solenoid valve.
- Check for a loose shift cable at the shift lever and the transmission control lever.
- Check the 5th clutch pressure.
- 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, and inspect the clutch wave-plate height. If the discs and the flat-plates are worn or damaged, replace the discs and the flat-plates as a set. If the wave-plate 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.
