1. INSPECT TORQUE CONVERTER ASSEMBLY


    Corolla. Zre142 Aze141.U250E Automatic Transmission Transaxle.Automatic Transaxle System.Automatic Transaxle Assembly  Installation
  1. Inspect the one-way clutch.

    1. Install SST onto the inner race of the one-way clutch.

      SST
      09350-32014(09351-32010)
    2. Set SST so that it fits in the notch of the torque converter assembly hub and in the outer race of the one-way clutch.

      SST
      09350-32014(09351-32020)
    3. With the torque converter assembly standing on its side, check that the clutch locks when SST is turned counterclockwise and rotates freely and smoothly when turned clockwise. If the results are not as specified, clean the torque converter assembly and recheck the one-way clutch. If the results still are not as specified, replace the torque converter assembly.
