   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 even after cleaning the torque converter assembly, replace the torque converter assembly.
   

Determine the condition of the torque converter assembly.

1. Check that the following conditions are met:
   

   1. During the stall test or when the shift lever is in N, metallic sounds are not emitted from the torque converter assembly.
      
   2. The one-way clutch turns in one direction and locks in the other direction.
      
   3. The amount of powder in the ATF is not more than the sample shown in the illustration.
      
   If the results are not as specified, replace the torque converter assembly.
   

   HINT:

   The sample illustration shows approximately 0.025 liters (0.026 US qts, 0.022 Imp. qts) of ATF taken from a removed torque converter assembly.

Replace the ATF in the torque converter assembly.

1. If the ATF is discolored and/or has a foul odor, stir the ATF in the torque converter assembly thoroughly and drain the ATF with the torque converter assembly facing upward.
