TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH AND DRIVE PLATE INSPECTION





1. Inspect one-way clutch.
a. Install SST 09350-30020 (09351-32010), or equivalent, in the inner race of one-way clutch.
b. Install SST 09350-30020 (09351-32020), or equivalent, so that it fits in the notch of the converter hub and outer race of the one-way clutch.





c. With the torque converter clutch standing on its side, the clutch locks when turned counterclockwise, and rotate freely and smoothly clockwise.
- If necessary, clean the converter clutch and retest the clutch. Replace the converter if the clutch still fails the test.





2. Measure drive plate runout and inspect ring gear. Set up a dial indicator, measure the drive plate runout.
Maximum runout: 0.20 mm (0.0079 inch)
- If the runout is not within the specification, replace the drive plate.
- If installing a new drive plate, note the orientation of spacers and tighten the bolts.
Torque to: 83 N.m (61 ft. lbs.)

- If the runout is not within the specification, try to correct by reorienting the installation of the converter clutch.
- If excessive runout cannot be corrected, replace the torque converter clutch.

NOTE: Mark the position of the torque converter clutch to ensure the correct installation.

b. Remove the torque converter clutch.

INSTALLATION

1. Reverse procedure to install, noting the following:
- Check and inspect the fluid level, shift lever position and road test the vehicle.
