TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH
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.
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 indicator and measure the torque converter
clutch sleeve runout.
Maximum runout: 0.30 mm (0.0118 in.)
If the runout is not within the specification, try to correct by reori-
enting the installation of the torque converter clutch. If exces-
sive runout cannot be corrected, replace the torque converter
clutch.
HINT:
Mark the position of the torque converter clutch to ensure the
correct installation.
(b) Remove the torque converter clutch.

GENERAL NOTES
The instructions here are organized so that you work on only one component group at a time.
This will help avoid confusion from similar±looking parts of different subassemblies being on your work-
bench at the same time.
The component groups are inspected and repaired from the converter housing side.
As much as possible, complete the inspection, repair and assembly before proceeding to the next compo-
nent group. If a component group cannot be assembled because parts are being ordered, be sure to keep
all parts of that group in a separate container while proceeding with disassembly, inspection, repair and
assembly of other component groups.
Recommended fluid for the automatic transaxle: ATF D±@@@@@: [g 2] or DEXRON®@@@@@: [g
3](DEXRON®@@@@@: [g 2])
1. GENERAL CLEANING NOTES:
(a) All disassembled parts should be washed clean and any fluid passages and holes blown through with
compressed air.
(b) When using compressed air to dry parts, always aim away from yourself to prevent accidentally spray-
ing automatic transaxle fluid or kerosene in your face.
(c) The recommended automatic transaxle fluid or kerosene should be used for cleaning.
2. PARTS ARRANGEMENT:
(a) After cleaning, the parts should be arranged in the correct order to allow efficient inspection, repairs,
and reassembly.
(b) When disassembling a valve body, be sure to keep each valve together with the corresponding spring.
(c) New brakes and clutches that are to be used for replacement must be soaked in transaxle fluid for at
least fifteen minutes before assembly.
3. GENERAL ASSEMBLY:
(a) All oil seal rings, clutch discs, clutch plates, rotating parts, and sliding surfaces should be coated with
transmission fluid prior to reassembly.
(b) All gaskets and rubber O±rings should be replaced.
(c) Make sure that the ends of a snap ring are not aligned with one of the cutouts and are installed in the
groove correctly.
(d) If a worn bushing is to be replaced, the subassembly containing that bushing must be replaced.
(e) Check thrust bearings and races for wear or damage. Replace if necessary.
(f) Use petroleum jelly to keep parts in place.

4. REMOVE PISTON RETURN SPRING
(a) Place SST on the spring retainer and compress the
springs with a press.
SST 09350±32014 (09351±32070)
(b) Remove the snap ring with snap ring pliers.
(c) Remove the piston return spring.
5. REMOVE CLUTCH PISTON
(a) Install the direct clutch onto the oil pump.
(b) Apply compressed air to the oil pump to remove the piston
(if the piston does not come out completely, use needle±
nose pliers to remove it).
(c) Remove the direct clutch from the oil pump.
(d) Remove the 2 O±rings from the piston.

DIRECT CLUTCH INSPECTION
1. INSPECT CLUTCH PISTON
(a) Check that the check ball is free by shaking the piston.
(b) Check that the valve does not leak by applying low±pres-
sure compressed air.
2. INSPECT DISCS, PLATES AND FLANGE
Check if the sliding surfaces of the discs, plates and
flange are worn or burnt. If necessary, replace them.
HINT:

If the lining of the disc is peeling off or discolored, or
even if a part of the printed numbers are defaced, re-
place all discs.

Before assembling new discs, soak them in ATF for
at least 15 minutes.
3. CHECK DIRECT CLUTCH BUSHING
Using a dial indicator, measure the inside diameter of the
direct clutch bushing.
Maximum inside diameter:
48.27 mm (1.9004 in.)
If the inside diameter is greater than the maximum, re-
place the direct clutch.
DIRECT CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
1. INSTALL CLUTCH PISTON IN DIRECT CLUTCH DRUM
(a) Install new O±rings to the piston. Coat the O±rings with
AT F.
(b) Being careful not to damage the O±rings, press the piston
into the drum with the cup side up.
2. INSTALL PISTON RETURN SPRING
(a) Place the return spring and snap ring onto the piston.
