TORQUE CONVERTER
Note. Torque converter is a sealed unit and is serviced as complete assembly. Perform the following tests to check for defective converter. Torque converter and transaxle cooler must be thoroughly cleaned and flushed if transaxle is contaminated.
Torque Converter One-Way Clutch Test
- Insert a turning tool into inner race of one-way clutch. Install Tester (09351-32010) so it fits in notch of converter hub and outer race of one-way clutch.
- With converter in normal operating position, clutch should lock-up when turned counterclockwise and should rotate freely and smoothly when turned clockwise. (Scheme 1) If one-way clutch fails test in either direction, clean converter. Retest clutch. If clutch fails test, replace torque converter.

Torque Converter Sleeve Runout Test
- Temporarily mount torque converter to drive plate. Mount a dial indicator with needle resting on converter sleeve. see scheme 4 Rotate converter. If runout exceeds.012" (.30 mm), ensure converter is properly mounted to drive plate.
- If converter is properly mounted and runout exceeds specification, replace torque converter. Mark position of converter to ensure correct installation. Remove converter from drive plate.
