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 clutch
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 if the clutch still fails the test.
2. MEASURE DRIVE PLATE RUNOUT AND INSPECT
