INSPECT TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH ASSEMBLY

Inspect the one-way clutch.

Install the SST so that it fits in the notch of the converter hub and the outer race of the one-way clutch.

SST

09350-32014 ( 09351-32010, 09351-32020 )
Install the SST (Stopper) from the sleeve of torque converter assembly and engage serration of stater slight washer.

Stand up the torque converter and turn the SST (tool ).

SST: 09350-32014 ( 09351-32010, 09351-32020 )

Standard
Check if it rotates smoothly when turned clockwise and locks up when turned counter clockwise.

Determine the condition of the torque converter clutch assembly.

If the inspection result of the torque converter clutch assembly meets the following item, replace the torque converter clutch.

Malfunction item
Any metallic sound is heard from the torque converter clutch during stall test or when the shift lever is in the N position.
The one-way clutch is free or locked in both directions.
Fine powder exceeding the sample limit is identified in ATF. (See the sample.)

Tech Tips

The sample shows the auto fluid of approximately 0.25 liters (0.26 US qts, 0.22 lmp, qts) that is taken out from the removed torque converter clutch.

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 it with the installation face up.
Clean and check the oil cooler and oil pipe line.
1. If the torque converter clutch is inspected or exchange the ATF, is exchanged, clean the oil cooler and oil pipe line.
  Tech Tips
  - Spray compressed air of 196 kPa (2kgf/cm², 28 psi) from the inlet hose.
  - If plenty of fine powders are identified in the ATF, add a new ATF using a bucket pump and clean it again.
2. If the ATF is cloudy, inspect the oil cooler.
