    1. A metallic sound is emitted from the torque converter assembly during the stall test or when the shift lever is moved to N.
    2. The one-way clutch turns smoothly or locks in both directions.
    3. The amount of powder in the ATF is more than the sample shown in the illustration (refer to the sample).
    HINT:
    The sample shows approximately 0.025 liters (0.026 US qts, 0.022 Imp. qts) of ATF in petri dish, which has been taken from a torque converter assembly.

  1. Replace the ATF in the torque converter assembly.

    1. If the ATF is discolored or has a foul odor, stir the ATF in the torque converter assembly and drain it before replacing the ATF.

  1. Set up a dial indicator and measure the runout at the 6 areas on the drive plate surface that contact the torque converter assembly.

    Maximum runout:
    0.30 mm (0.0118 in.)
    If the runout is more than the maximum or the drive plate is damaged, replace the drive plate.
