AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION


  1. INSPECT TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH ASSEMBLY


    1. Inspect the one-way clutch.


      1. A01CB0AE01

        Press on the serrations of the starter with a finger and rotate it. Check that it rotates smoothly when turned clockwise and locks up when turned counterclockwise.

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

        Replace the converter if the one-way clutch still fails the check.

    2. A01CDVGE25

      Determine the condition of the torque converter clutch assembly.


      1. Check that the following conditions are met:


        • During the stall test or when the shift lever is in N, metallic sounds are not emitted from the torque converter clutch.


        • The one-way clutch turns clockwise and locks when turned counterclockwise.


        • The amount of powder in the ATF is not greater than the sample shown in the illustration.

        If the results are not as specified, replace the torque converter clutch assembly.

        Tech Tips

        The sample illustration shows approximately 0.25 liters (0.26 US qts, 0.22 Imp. qts) of ATF taken from a removed torque converter.

    3. Replace the ATF in the torque converter clutch.


      1. If the ATF is discolored and/or has foul odor, stir the ATF in the torque converter clutch thoroughly and drain it.

    4. A01CCV1

      Clean and check the oil cooler and oil pipe line.


      1. If the torque converter clutch is inspected or the ATF is replaced, clean the oil cooler and oil pipe line.

        Tech Tips


        • 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.

      2. If the ATF is cloudy, inspect the oil cooler (radiator).

    5. A01CFZGE08

      Avoid damaging the torque converter clutch and the oil pump gear.


      1. When any marks due to interference are found on the end of a bolt for the torque converter clutch or on the bottom of a bolt hole, replace the bolt and torque converter clutch.

      2. All of the bolts should be the same length.

      3. Make sure that no spring washers are missing.

    3. A01CG4I

      Turn the torque converter clutch assembly to engage the key of the oil pump drive gear into the slot on the torque converter clutch assembly.

    4. A01CAMUE01

      Using a vernier caliper and a straightedge, measure dimension "A" between the transaxle fitting surface of the engine *1 and the converter fitting surface of the drive plate *2. (#)

    5. A01CBRUE01

      Using a vernier caliper and a straightedge, measure dimension "B" shown in the illustration and check that "B" is greater than "A" (measured in step (#)).

      Standard
      A + 1 mm (0.0394 in.) or more

      Note


      • Make sure to deduct the thickness of the straightedge.

      • If the transaxle is installed to the engine with the torque converter not sufficiently inserted, the torque converter may be damaged.

      Tech Tips
