c. With the torque converter clutch standing on its side, check that the clutch locks when turned counterclockwise, and rotates freely and
smoothly clockwise.
If necessary, clean the converter clutch and retest the clutch. Replace the converter clutch if the clutch still fails the test.
2. MEASURE DRIVE PLATE RUNOUT AND INSPECT RING GEAR
Set up a dial indicator, measure drive plate runout.
Maximum runout: 0.20 mm (0.0079 inch)
