AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION


  1. INSPECT TORQUE CONVERTER ASSEMBLY


    1. Inspect the one-way clutch.


      1. A01EMN2

        Press on the splines of the stator with a finger and rotate the spline. Check that the spline rotates smoothly when turned clockwise and rotates with difficulty when turned counterclockwise.

        If necessary, clean the torque converter assembly and recheck the one-way clutch.

        Replace the torque converter assembly if the one-way clutch still fails the inspection.

      *b Full Scale

      Inspect the torque converter assembly.

      If any of the following problems are present, replace the torque converter assembly.


        Malfunction:

      • A metallic sound is emitted from the torque converter assembly during the stall test or when the shift lever is moved to N.

      • The one-way clutch turns smoothly or locks in both directions.

      • The amount of powder in the ATF is more than the sample shown in the illustration (refer to the sample).

      Tech Tips

      The sample shows approximately 0.025 liters (0.026 US qts., 0.022 Imp. qts.) of ATF in Petri dish, which has been taken from the removed torque converter assembly.

    3. Replace the ATF in the torque converter assembly.

      Tech Tips

      If the ATF is discolored or has a foul odor, stir the ATF in the torque converter assembly and drain it before replacing the ATF.

    4. A01EIQZ

      Clean and check the oil cooler and oil pipe line.

      Tech Tips


      • If the torque converter assembly is inspected or the ATF is replaced, it is necessary to clean the oil cooler and oil pipe line.

      • Apply compressed air of 196 kPa (2.0 kgf/ cm2, 28 psi) into the inlet hose.

      • If a large amount of powder is found in the ATF, add new ATF using a bucket pump and clean the oil cooler and oil pipe line again.

      • If the ATF is cloudy, inspect the oil cooler.
