COMPONENT TESTS
Note. Torque converter is a sealed unit and is serviced as complete assembly. Perform following tests to check for defective converter. Torque converter and transmission cooler must be thoroughly cleaned and flushed if transmission is contaminated.
One-Way Clutch Check

Drive Plate (Flywheel) Runout Check
Using dial indicator, measure drive plate runout. (Scheme 121) If runout exceeds.008" (.20 mm), or if ring gear is damaged, replace drive plate. If installing a NEW drive plate, note position of spacers. Tighten bolts in a crisscross pattern to 61 ft. lbs. (83 N.m) on GS 300 and IS 300 models. On all other models, tighten bolts in a crisscross pattern to 36 ft. lbs. (49 N.m), then tighten each bolt an additional 90 degrees.

Converter Sleeve Runout Check
Temporarily mount torque converter to drive plate. Mount a dial indicator with needle resting on converter sleeve. (Scheme 122) Rotate converter. If runout exceeds.012" (.30 mm), reposition converter on drive plate and recheck runout. If runout exceeds specification, replace torque converter.
