If necessary, clean the torque converter assembly and recheck the one-way clutch.

Replace the torque converter assembly if the one-way clutch still fails the inspection.

(b) Inspect the torque converter assembly.

If any of the following problems are present, replace the torque converter assembly.

Malfunction:
  • A metallic sound is emitted from the torque converter assembly during the stall test or when the shift lever is moved to N.
  • The one-way clutch turns smoothly or difficulty in both directions.
  • The amount of powder in the ATF is more than the sample shown in the illustration (refer to the sample).

HINT:

The sample shows approximately 0.025 liters (0.026 US qts, 0.022 Imp. qts) of ATF in a Petri dish, which has been taken from the removed torque converter assembly.

2. INSPECT DRIVE PLATE AND RING GEAR SUB-ASSEMBLY

(a) Check the drive plate and ring gear sub-assembly for damage.

Measurement Point

(b) Set up a dial indicator and measure the runout at the 6 areas on the drive plate and ring gear sub-assembly surface that contact the torque converter assembly.

Maximum Runout:

0.30 mm (0.0118 in.)

HINT:

  • If the runout is more than the maximum or the drive plate and ring gear sub-assembly is damaged, replace the drive plate and ring gear sub-assembly.
  • If installing a new drive plate and ring gear sub-assembly, confirm that the spacers are oriented properly before tightening the bolts.
