Sst 09350-32014 (09351-32020)
- With the torque converter standing on its side,
check that the clutch locks when sst is turned
counterclockwise and rotates freely and
smoothly when turned clockwise. If the results
are not as specified, clean the converter and
recheck the one-way clutch. If the results still
are not as specified, replace the converter.
- Determine the condition of the torque converter
clutch.
- Check that the following conditions are met:
Hint:
The sample illustration shows approximately
0.25 Liters (0.26 Us qts, 0.22 Imp. Qts) of the
atf taken from a removed torque converter
clutch.
- Replace the atf in the torque converter clutch.
- If the atf is discolored and/or has a foul odor,
stir the atf in the torque converter clutch
thoroughly and drain the atf with the torque
converter facing upward.
- Clean and check the oil cooler and oil pipe line.
- If the torque converter clutch is inspected or the
atf is replaced, clean the oil cooler and oil
pipe line.
- Apply compressed air of 196 kpa (2 kgf/cm2,
28 psi) into the inlet hose.
- If a large amount of powder is found in the
atf, add new atf using a bucket pump and
clean the oil cooler and oil pipe line again.
- If the atf is cloudy, inspect the oil cooler
(radiator).
- Prevent deformation of the torque converter clutch
and damage to the oil pump gear.
- When any marks due to interference are found
on the end of the bolt for the torque converter
clutch and on the bottom of the bolt hole,
replace the bolt and torque converter clutch.
- All of the bolts should be the same length.
- Make sure no spring washers are missing.
- Inspect drive plate and ring gear subassembly
- Set up a dial indicator and measure the drive plate
runout.
Maximum runout:
0.30 Mm (0.0118 In.)
If the runout is greater than the maximum or if the
ring gear is damaged, replace the drive plate. If
installing a new drive plate, note the orientation of
the spacers and tighten the bolts.
Torque: 98 n*m (999 kgf*cm, 72 ft.*Lbf)
- Check the ring gear for any damage.
If the ring gear is damaged, replace the drive plate.
