AND DRIVE PLATE
INSPECTION
1. INSPECT ONE±WAY CLUTCH
(a) Install SST into 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 hub
and outer race of the one±way clutch.
SST 09350±32014 (09351±32020)
(c) With the torque converter clutch standing on its side,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 and measure the drive plate runout.
Maximum runout: 0.20 mm (0.0079 in.)
If the runout is not within the specification or if the ring gear is
damaged, replace the drive plate. If installing a new drive plate,
note the orientation of spacers and tighten the bolts.
