Checking torque converter

–	Check hub -arrow- of torque converter for scoring and damage.

–	Check that balance plates are firmly secured and threads are undamaged.

If torque converter shows scoring or damage (abnormal wear), if balance plates are loose or threads are damaged:

–	Renew torque converter.

Note

t	If the torque converter lock-up clutch is burnt or worn this will leave sand-like particles and deposits in the ATF strainer.

t	If the bolts -arrow- securing the torque converter to the drive plate are just 2 mm too long they will make a dent in the torque converter, which will damage the torque converter clutch. For this reason it is important to use only the correct type of bolts (same as original equipment).
