PLAY CHECK

A special tool
(Fig. 19)
must
be

used
to
check
the
condition
of the

converter. This special tool
is
used
to

check
the
turbine
and
stator
end
play

and
the
operation
of the
one-way
sta-

tor clutch.

FIG. 19—Converter Checking Tool

1.
Insert
the
tool (Fig.
19)
into
the

converter pump drive
hub
until
it
bot-

toms.

2.
Install
the
guide over
the con-

verter pump drive
hub.
3.
Expand
the
split fiber bushing
in

the turbine spline
by
tightening
the

adjusting
nut.
Tighten
the
adjusting

nut until
the
tool
is
securely locked

into
the
spline.

4.
Attach
a
dial indicator
to the

tool (Fig.
20 or
21). Position
the
indi-

cator button
on a
converter pump

drive
hub, and set the
dial face
at 0

(zero).

5.
Lift
the
tool upward
as far as it

will
go and
note
the
indicator reading.

The indicator reading
is the
total
end

play which
the
turbine
and
stator

share.
If the
total
end
play exceeds

the limits specified
in
Part 7-5, replace

the converter unit.

6. Loosen
the
adjusting
nut to
free

the split bushing,
and
then remove
the

tool from
the
converter.

STATOR ONE-WAY CLUTCH

CHECK

1.
Install
the
stator outer race hold-

ing tool
in one of the
four holes
pro-

vided
in the
stator (Fig.
20 or 21).

2.
Insert
the
tool
in the
converter

pump drive hub.
As the
tool enters
the

converter,
the
pins will engage
the sta-

tor clutch inner race spline.

3.
Place
a
torque wrench
on the

tool (Fig.
20 or
21).
The
tool (and
sta-

tor inner race) should turn freely

clockwise (from
the
pump drive
hub

inside
the
converter).
It
should lock
up

and hold
a 10
ft-lb pull when
the

wrench
is
turned counterclockwise.

Try
the
clutch
for
lockup
and
hold
in

at least five different locations around

the converter.
On
the
C4
or C6
Auto-

matics,
the
metal ring holding
the

locking tool will have
to be
held
by

hand during this check.

4.
If the
clutch fails
to
lock
up and

hold
a 10
ft-lb torque, replace
the

converter unit.

STATOR
TO
IMPELLER

INTERFERENCE CHECK

1.
Position
the
front pump assem-

bly
on a
bench with
the
spline
end of

the stator shaft pointing
up
(Fig.
22).

2.
Mount
a
converter
on the
pump

so that
the
splines
on the
one-way

clutch inner race engage
the
mating

splines
of the
stator support,
and the

converter
hub
engages
the
pump drive

gear.

3.
While holding
the
pump station-

ary, try
to
rotate the converter counter-

clockwise.
The
converter should
ro-

tate freely without
any
signs
of
inter-

ference
or
scraping within
the
convert-

er assembly.
4.
If
there
is an
indication
of
scrap-

ing,
the
trailing edges
of the
stator

blades
may be
interfering with
the

leading edges
of the
impeller blades.

In such cases, replace
the
converter.

STATOR
TO
TURBINE

INTERFERENCE CHECK

1.
Position
the
converter
on the

bench front side down.

2.
Install
a
front pump assembly
to

engage
the
mating splines
of
the
stator

support
and
stator,
and
pump drive

gear lugs.

3.
Install
the
input shaft, engaging

the splines with
the
turbine
hub (Fig.

23).

4.
While holding
the
pump station-

ary, attempt
to
rotate
the
turbine with

the input shaft.
The
turbine should
ro-

tate freely
in
both directions without

any signs
of
interference
or
scraping

noise.

5.
If
interference exists,
the
stator

front thrust washer
may be
worn,
al-

lowing
the
stator
to hit the
turbine.
In

such cases,
the
converter must
be re-

placed.

The converter crankshaft pilot

should
be
checked
for
nicks
or dam-

aged surfaces that could cause inter-

ference when installing
the
converter

into
the
crankshaft. Check
the con-

verter front pump drive
hub for
nicks

or sharp edges that would damage
the

pump seal.

OUTPUT SHAFT
AND

PRIMARY
SUN
GEAR SHAFT

(FMX TRANSMISSION)

1.
Inspect
the
thrust surfaces
and

journals
for
scores. Inspect
the
inter-

nal gear
for
broken
or
worn teeth.

2.
Inspect
the
aluminum sleeve
for

scores
or
leakage. Inspect
the
ring

grooves
for
burrs.

3.
Inspect
the
keyway
and
drive

ball pocket
for
wear,
and
inspect
the

splines
for
burrs, twist
or
wear.

4.
Inspect
the
output shaft sleeve

for alignment with
the
governor drive

ball (Fig.
24).

5.
Inspect
the
external parking gear

teeth
for
damage
and the
speedometer

drive gear teeth
for
burrs.

6.
If
either
the
output shaft
or
ring

gear
has
been replaced, place
the as-

sembled unit with
the
gear face down

on
the
bench, push
the
shaft down-

ward,
and
check
the
clearance
be-

tween
the top of the
snap ring
and its

groove
(Fig. 25).
If
this clearance
ex-

ceeds 0.002 inch, replace
the
snap ring

with
a
thicker ring
to
reduce
the
clear-

ance
to
less than 0.002 inch. Selectiveprocarmanuals.com

Individual parts of the planet car-

riers are not serviceable.

1.
The pins and shafts in the planet

assemblies should be checked for loose

fit and/or complete disengagement.

Use a new planet assembly if either

condition exists. Before installing a

planet assembly, the shaft retaining

pins should be checked for adequate

staking. If staking does not appear

adequate, the pins should be restaked

before installation. When restaking,

the retaining pins must not be driven

into the carrier any further than 0.040

inch below the surface of the carrier.

shaft for wear and replace the shaft if

the splines are excessively worn. In-

spect the bushing in the turbine shaft

for scores. On a C4 or C6 Automatic
