The turbine and lockup clutch assemblies should rotate in both directions, not exceeding the maximum torque shown, without any signs of
metallic interference or scraping noise.
5. If interference exists, the stator front thrust washer may be worn, allowing the stator to hit the turbine, In such cases, the torque converter must be
replaced.
-
Check the converter crankshaft pilot for nicks or damaged surfaces that could cause interference when installing the torque converter into the
crankshaft pilot. Check the converter front impeller hub for nicks or sharp edges that would damage the pump seal.
