SST 09350-32014 (09351-32020)
c. With the torque converter clutch standing on its side, the clutch should lock when turned counterclockwise, and should rotate freely and
smoothly clockwise. If necessary, clean the converter and retest the clutch. Replace the converter if the clutch still fails the test.
