(d) Clean and check the oil cooler and oil pipe line.
(1) If the torque converter clutch is inspected or the ATF
is exchanged, clean the oil cooler and oil pipe line.
HINT:
Spray compressed air of 196 kPa (2 kgf/cm2, 28 psi) from
the inlet hose.
If plenty of fine powders are identified in the ATF, add new
ATF using a bucket pump and clean it again.
(2) If the ATF is cloudy, inspect the oil cooler (radiator).
(e) Prevent deformation of the torque converter clutch and
damage to the oil pump gear.
(1) When any marks due to interference are found on
the end of the bolt for the torque converter clutch
and on the bottom of the bolt hole, replace the bolt
and the torque converter clutch.
(2) All of the bolts must be have the same length.
(3) No missing spring washer.
2. INSPECT DRIVE PLATE & RING GEAR SUB-ASSY
(a) Set up a dial indicator and measure the drive plate runout.
(b) Check the damage of the ring gear.
Maximum runout: 0.20 mm (0.0079 in.)
If the runout is not within the specification or ring gear is dam-
aged, replace the drive plate.
