This paper describes the first measurement of spin observables in nuclear muon capture by {sup 3}He. The sensitivity of spin observables to the pseudoscalar coupling is described. The triton asymmetry presented has to be corrected for small systematic effects in order to extract the vector analyzing power. The analysis of these effects is currently underway.
