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.
