1. Check drive plate runout.
CAUTION:
Do not allow any magnetic materials to contact the ring
gear teeth.
●If this runout is out of allowance, replace drive plate with ring
gear.
2. When connecting torque converter to transaxle, measure dis-
tance “A” to be certain that they are correctly assembled.
3. Install torque converter to drive plate.
●With converter installed, rotate crankshaft several turns
to check that transaxle rotates freely without binding.
