CLUTCH TEST PRESSURE PORTS (80PSI AIR) DO NOT EXCEED THIS AMOUNT OF PRESSURE
You will need to use a rubber tip nozzle to do this test with a constant 80 psi air source. Fill ports 1 and 4 first with DCT transmission fluid (small amount). Insert the rubber nozzle tightly up against ports 1 and 4 (circled in red) for 5 seconds.
Port 1 is Clutch A, if you hear blowing air, this means there is a seal problem. You should hear a thud sound. This means the clutch is properly sealing. If you hear air leaking, there is a seal problem.
Port 2 is Clutch B, if you hear blowing air, this means there is a seal problem. You should hear a thud sound. This means the clutch is properly sealing. If you hear air leaking, there is a seal problem.

If all tests are ok, then reinstall the valve body unit.
