INSTALLATION
1. INSTALL CHECK TORQUE CONVERTER
Using calipers and a straight edge, measure the distance from
the installed surface to the front surface of the transaxle hous-
ing.
Correct distance: More than 13.0 mm (0.512 in.)
2. INSTALL TRANSAXLE
Installation is in reverse order of removal.
HINT:
After installation, adjust the shift cable and park/newtral
position switch (See page AX-2).
Fill ATF and check fluid level (See page AX-2).
Test drive the vehicle.

TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH
AND DRIVE PLATE
INSPECTION
1. INSPECT ONE-WAY CLUTCH
(a) Install SST in the inner race of the one-way clutch.
SST 09350-32014 (09351-32010)
(b) Install SST so that it fits in the notch of the converter clutch
hub and outer race of the one-way clutch.
SST 09350-32014 (09351-32020)
(c) With the torque converter clutch held upright, inspect the
clutch locks when turned counterclockwise, and rotates
freely and smoothly clockwise.
If necessary, clean the converter and retest the clutch. Replace
the converter clutch 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 in.)
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: 88 N´m (900 kgf´cm, 65 ft´lbf)
3. MEASURE TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH SLEEVE
RUNOUT
Temporarily mount the torque converter clutch to the drive
plate. Set up a dial indicator, measure the torque converter
clutch sleeve runout.
Maximum runout: 0.30 mm (0.0018 in.)
If the runout is not within the specification, try to correct by reori-
enting the installation of the converter.
HINT:
Mark the position of the converter clutch to ensure the correct
installation.
