that the clutch takes up the drive smoothly, without slip or judder.
that gear changing is smooth with no abnormal noises or vibrations from the
transmission.
the engine power output is satisfactory, full power is achieved, acceleration is smooth
and pedal operation is not stiff or heavy, and engine speed returns to idle correctly.
there is no excessive or abnormally colored smoke from the engine under normal driving,
heavy load or overrun conditions.
that steering operation, including power steering (if equipped), is smooth, accurate, not
excessively heavy or with excessive free play or vibration.

Brake Testing
WARNING: When brake testing, avoid breathing the fumes from hot brakes, this may
contain asbestos dust which is hazardous to health. Failure to follow this instruction may
result in personal injury.
For additional information, refer to:
Health and Safety Precautions (100-00 General
Information, Description and Operation).
CAUTIONS:
Avoid brake testing on busy roads where it may cause inconvenience or danger to
other road users.
Brake testing which includes heavy brake applications should not be carried out with
new brake pads/discs or linings/drums until the components have bedded-in. New brake
friction components will not reach full efficiency until the bedding-in process is complete.
Test the brakes at several speeds within the normal operating range using both light and
heavy pedal pressure. Note any tendency to snatch, pull or drag, and any undue delay in
application or release.
Allow the vehicle to coast and note any tendency to pull to one side, or evidence that the
brakes are binding.
After stopping the vehicle (not immediately after a period of heavy braking), carefully check
the brake temperature. A brake disc or brake drum that feels hot or is appreciably hotter
than the others, indicates that the brake is binding.
After completion of the test, check for:
oil, coolant, hydraulic, air and fuel leaks.
abnormal temperature of any moving components or assemblies, for example wheel
hubs, transmission and axle, which might indicate over tightness or lack of lubrication.
