1. INSPECT TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
(a) Inspect the one-way clutch.
(1) Press on the serrations of the starter with a finger and rotate it. Check that it rotates smoothly when turned clockwise and locks up when
turned counterclockwise.
If necessary, clean the converter and recheck the one-way clutch.
Replace the converter if the one-way clutch still fails the check.
(b) Determine the condition of the torque converter clutch.
(1) Check that the following conditions are met:
-
During the stall test or when the shift lever is in N, metallic sounds are not emitted from the torque converter clutch.
-
The 1-way clutch turns in one direction and locks in the other direction.
-
The amount of powder in the ATF is not greater than the sample shown in the illustration.
HINT: The sample illustration shows approximately 0.25 liters (0.26 US qts, 0.22 Imp. qts) of the ATF taken from a removed torque
converter clutch.
(c) Replace the ATF in the torque converter clutch.
(1) If the ATF is discolored and/or has a foul odor, completely stir the ATF in the torque converter clutch and drain the ATF with the torque
converter facing upward.
