INSPECTION OF TORQUE CONVERTER
1. INSERT SST IN END OF TORQUE CONVERTER
(a) Insert a turning tool into the inner race of the one±way
clutch.
SST 09350±32014 (09351±32010)
2. TEST ONE±WAY CLUTCH
With the torque converter made stand, the clutch
should lock when turned counterclockwise, and rotate
freely and smoothly clockwise.
If necessary, clean the converter and retest the clutch.
Replace the converter if the clutch still fails the test.
CLEAN TORQUE CONVERTER
if the transmission is contaminated, the torque convert-
er and transmission cooler should be thoroughly
flushed with ATF. (b) Insert the stopper so that it fits in the notch of the
converter hub and outer race of the one±way
clutch.
