TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH
AND DRIVE PLATE
INSPECTION
1. INSPECT ONE±WAY CLUTCH
(a) Install SST so that it fits in the notch of the converter hub
and outer race of the one±way clutch.
SST 09350±30020 (09351±32020)
(b) Press on the serrations of stater with a finger and rotate
it.
Check if it rotates smoothly when turned clockwise and
locks up when turned counterclockwise.
2. MEASURE DRIVE PLATE RUNOUT AND INSPECT
RING GEAR
Set up a dial indicator and measure the drive plate runout.
Maximum runout: 0.20 mm (0.0079 in.)
If runout exceeds 0.20 mm (0.0079 in.) or if the ring gear is dam-
aged, replace the drive plate. If installing a new drive plate, note
the orientation of spacers and tighten the bolts.
Torque: 83 N´m (850 kgf´cm, 61 ft´lbf)
3. MEASURE TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH SLEEVE
RUNOUT
(a) Temporarily mount the torque converter clutch to the drive
plate. Set up a dial indictor.
Maximum runout: 0.30 mm (0.0118 in.)
If runout exceeds 0.30 mm (0.0118 in.), try to correct by reori-
enting the installation of the torque converter clutch.
If excessive runout cannot be corrected, replace the torque
converter clutch.
HINT:
Mark the position of the torque converter clutch to ensure cor-
rect installation.
(b) Remove the torque converter clutch.

CAUTION:
When working with FIPG material, you must observe the follow-
ing items.

Using a razor blade and gasket scraper, remove all the old
FIPG material from the gasket surfaces.

Thoroughly clean all components to remove all the loose
material.

Clean both sealing surfaces with a non±residue solvent.

Apply FIPG in an approx. 1 mm (0.04 in.) wide bead along
the sealing surface.

Parts must be assembled within 10 minutes of application.
Otherwise, the FIPG material must be removed and reap-
plied.

3. EXAMINE PARTICLES IN PAN
Remove the magnets and use them to collect steel particles.
Carefully look at the foreign matter and particles in the pan and
on the magnets to anticipate the type of wear you will find in the
transmission.
Steel (magnetic) ... bearing, gear and clutch plate wear
Brass (non±magnetic) ... bushing wear

INSPECTION
1. INSPECT WIRELESS DOOR LOCK TRANSMITTER
OPERATION
HINT:
Refer to ºWireless door lock control transmitter battery replace-
mentº on page BE±161.
(a) Using a screwdriver, remove the screw and cover.
(b) Remove the battery (lithium battery).
(c) Install a new or normal battery (lithium battery).
HINT:
When a new or normal battery can not be obtained, connect 2
new 1.5 V batteries in series, connect the battery (+) to the bat-
tery receptacle side terminal and battery (±) to the bottom termi-
nal, then apply 3 V voltage to the transmitter.
(d) In the location where is approx. 1 M away from driver's
outside handle in the right direction, face the key plate of
the transmitter to the vehicle, and check the transmitter
operation when pressing transmission switch on the side
of the transmitter body.
Standard:

Remote control of vehicle door lock can be operated.

LED lights up more than once.
HINT:

The minimum operation distance differs according to op-
erator, the way of holding the transmitter, and location.

As weak wave is used, operation distance might be short-
ened when noise is detected in strong wave or used fre-
quency.
(e) Install the battery (lithium battery).
(f) Install a cover so that O±ring is not distorted or slipped off.
(g) Using a screwdriver, tighten the screw.
