Remove transmission charging pump (page 3-344).
Check charging pump gasket for wear or damage.
Replace gasket if worn or damaged and reinstall pump (page 3-345).

Remove clutch pressure switch from transmission control valve (refer
to TM 5-3805-262-20).
Connect pressure gage hose to transmission control valve port from

Be sure parking brake valve knob is pushed in.
Press brake treadle and valve and move transmission control lever

Set transmission control lever to N position and operate engine at
idle speed for ten seconds.
Repeat the above until CONV TEMP gage needle is approximately 1/2
inch from bottom of gage.
