TRANSAXLE FLUID CAPACITIES

Torque Converter Always Applied/Stalls Vehicle

Check for damage/fault at PCM, shift solenoids SSB and SSC and related wiring. Check valve body for contamination, improperly tightened bolts, damaged separator plate and stuck valves/springs. Check low one-way clutch for damage or incorrect assembly. Check torque converter for internal failure.

Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) Cycling/Shudder/Chatter

Check for damage/fault at PCM, shift solenoids SSB and SSC and related wiring. Check valve body for contamination, improperly tightened bolts, damaged separator plate and stuck valves/springs. Check torque converter for internal failure.

Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) Does Not Apply

Check for damage/fault at PCM, shift solenoids SSB and SSC, TFT sensor and related wiring. Check valve body for contamination, improperly tightened bolts, damaged separator plate and stuck valves/springs. Check oil pump assembly for improperly tightened bolts, damaged/leaking pump gasket, missing check ball and plugged passage. Check torque converter for internal failure.

Torque Converter End Play Test

Install torque converter gauge Special Tool (307-409) to torque converter as shown. (Scheme 1) Using special tool, measure torque converter end play by pulling up on the special tool. Dial indicator reading should not exceed.002-.020" (.05-.51 mm). If dial indicator reading exceeds specification, replace torque converter.

Scheme 1

Scheme 1: Torque Converter End Play Test

Scheme 2

Scheme 2: Torque Converter Leak Test
  1. Thoroughly clean outside surface of torque converter. Install torque converter leak check Special Tool and Gasket (307-421). Install special tool with torque converter into an arbor press as shown. (Scheme 2) Apply enough pressure from press to seal special tool to torque converter. Apply air pressure to special tool valve.
  2. Using a soap solution, inspect torque converter hub, seams and studs for leaks. If any leaks are present, replace torque converter. Remove air pressure. Release pressure in torque converter through release valve. Slowly release press and remove special tool.
