Service Notice or PrecautionsBCS000ZH
TORQUE CONVERTER SERVICE
The torque converter should be replaced under any of the following conditions:

External leaks in the hub weld area.

Converter hub is scored or damaged.

Converter pilot is broken, damaged or fits poorly into crankshaft.

Steel particles are found after flushing the cooler and cooler lines.

Pump is damaged or steel particles are found in the converter.

Vehicle has TCC shudder and/or no TCC apply. Replace only after all hydraulic and electrical diagnoses
have been made. (Converter clutch material may be glazed.)

Converter is contaminated with engine coolant containing antifreeze.

Internal malfunction of stator roller clutch.

Heavy clutch debris due to overheating (blue converter).

Steel particles or clutch lining material found in fluid filter or on magnet when no internal parts in unit are
worn or damaged — indicates that lining material came from converter.
The torque converter should not be replaced if:

The fluid has an odor, is discolored, and there is no evidence of metal or clutch facing particles.

The threads in one or more of the converter bolt holes are damaged.

Transaxle malfunction did not display evidence of damaged or worn internal parts, steel particles or clutch
plate lining material in unit and inside the fluid filter.

Vehicle has been exposed to high mileage (only). The exception may be where the torque converter
clutch dampener plate lining has seen excess wear by vehicles operated in heavy and/or constant traffic,
such as taxi, delivery or police use.

Align the positions of tightening bolts for drive plate with those of
torque converter, and temporarily tighten bolts. Then, tighten
bolts with the specified torque.
CAUTION:

When turning crankshaft, turn it clockwise as viewed from
front of engine.

When tightening the tighten bolts for the torque converter
after fixing crankshaft pulley bolts, be sure to confirm the
tightening torque of crankshaft pulley mounting bolts.
Refer to EM-53, "
TIMING CHAIN" (QR engine), EM-173, "TIMING CHAIN" (VQ engine).

After converter is installed to drive plate, rotate crankshaft several turns and make sure that tran-
saxle rotates freely without binding.

Install POS sensor. Refer to EM-145, "Removal and Installation" .

After completing installation, check for A/T fluid leakage, A/T fluid level, and positions of A/T. Refer to AT-
14, "Checking A/T Fluid" , AT- 2 1 5 , "Adjustment of A/T Position" , AT- 2 1 5 , "Checking of A/T Position" . : 52 N·m (5.3 kg-m, 38 ft-lb)
