Converter End Play, One-Way Clutch Check

Tools Required:

• End Play Checking Tool T80L-7902-A
• Bracketry TOOL-4201-C

End Play Check

1. Insert End Play Checking Tool T80L-7902-A into the converter pump drive hub until it bottoms.

2. Expand the sleeve in the turbine spline by tightening the threaded inner post until the tool is securely locked in to the spline.
   
   
   
   

3. Attach Dial Indicator with Bracketry TOOL-4201-C or equivalent to the tool. Position the indicator button on the converter pump drive hub, and set the dial face at zero.

4. Lift the tool upward as far as it will go and note the indicator reading. The indicator reading is the total end play which the turbine and stator share. Replace the converter unit if the total end play exceeds the limits indicated in Specifications.

5. Loosen the threaded inner post to free the tool and remove the tool from the converter.
   
   
   
   

Converter One-Way Roller Clutch Check

Tools Required:

• Converter Clutch Torquing Tool T76L-7902-C
• Converter Clutch Holding Tool T77L-7902-R

1. Insert the Converter Clutch Holding Tool T77L-7902-R, in one of the grooves in the stator thrust washer.
   
   
   
   

2. Insert Converter Clutch Torquing Tool T76L-7902-C in converter pump drive hub to engage one-way roller clutch inner race.

3. Attach a torque wrench to the one-way roller clutch tightening tool. With the one-way roller clutch holding tool held stationary, turn the torque wrench counterclockwise. The converter one-way clutch should lock up and hold a 13 Nm (10 lb-ft) force. The converter one-way clutch should rotate freely in a clockwise direction. Try the clutch for lock up and hold in at least five different locations around the converter.

4. If the clutch fails to lock up and hold a 13 Nm (10 lb-ft) torque, replace the converter unit.
