Torque Converter Clutch: Testing and Inspection
TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH INSPECTION
1. Inspect one-way clutch, as follows:
a. Install Special Service Tool (SST) 09350-32014 (09351-32010) or equivalents, in the inner race of the one-way clutch.
b. Install SST 09350-32014 (09351-32020) or equivalents, so that it fits in the notch of the converter clutch hub and outer race of the one-way
clutch.
c. With the torque converter clutch held upright, 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 clutch if the clutch still fails the test.
2. Measure torque converter clutch sleeve runout. Temporarily mount the torque converter clutch to the drive plate. Set up a dial indicator, measure
the torque converter clutch sleeve runout.
Maximum runout: 0.30 mm (0.0118 inch)
If the runout is not within the specification, try to correct by reorienting the installation of the converter.
NOTE: Mark the position of the converter clutch to ensure correct installation.
TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH INSTALLATION CHECK
Using calipers and a straight edge, measure the distance from the installed surface to the front surface of the transaxle housing.
Correct distance: More than 23.0 mm (0.906 inch).
