Torque Converter Checks
Torque Converter Leakage Check
If welds on the torque converter indicate leakage, remove the torque converter and make the following check.
Assemble Rotunda Torque Converter Leak Test Kit 014-R1067 or equivalent to the torque converter. Test torque converter for leaks, following the directions supplied with the detector kit.
One-Way Clutch Check
Description | Tool Number |
---|---|
Converter Clutch Holding Tool | T77L-7902-R |
Converter Clutch Torquing Tool | T76L-7902-C |
Insert the Converter Clutch Holding Tool T77L-7902-R in one of the grooves in the stator thrust washer.
Insert the Converter Clutch Torquing Tool T76L-7902-C in converter pump drive hub to engage one-way clutch inner race.
Attach a torque wrench to the converter clutch torquing tool. With the converter clutch holding tool held stationary, turn the torque wrench counterclockwise. The torque converter one-way clutch should lock up and hold a 13 Nm (10 lb-ft) force. The torque converter one-way clutch should rotate freely in a clockwise direction until torquing tool contacts the holding tool. Try the clutch for lockup and hold in at least five different locations around the torque converter.
If the clutch fails to lock up and hold a 13 Nm (10 lb-ft) torque, replace the torque converter.
One-Way Clutch Check
Stator to Impeller Interference Check
NOTE: Front pump support may remain in front pump support and gear (7A103) during this test.
Position the front pump support on a bench with the spline end of the shaft pointing up.
Mount torque converter on the front pump support with the splines on the one-way clutch inner race, engaging the mating splines of the front pump support.
Hold the front pump support stationary, and try to rotate the torque converter counterclockwise. The torque converter should rotate freely without any signs of interference or scraping within the torque converter.
If there is an indication of scraping, the trailing edges of the stator blades may be interfering with the leading edges of the impeller blades. In such cases, replace the torque converter.
Stator to Turbine Interference Check
NOTE: Front pump support may remain in front pump support and gear during this test.
Position the torque converter on the bench, front side down.
Install a front pump support to engage the mating splines of the front pump support shaft.
Install the forward clutch cylinder and shaft, engaging the splines with the rear clutch hub (7B067).
Hold the stator shaft stationary and attempt to rotate the rear clutch hub with the forward clutch cylinder and shaft. The turbine and torque converter clutch assemblies should rotate in both directions not exceeding maximum torque of 9.5 Nm (7 lb-ft) without any signs of metallic interference or scraping noise.
If interference exists, the stator front thrust washer may be worn, allowing the stator to hit the turbine. In such cases, the torque converter must be replaced.
The converter crankshaft pilot should be checked for nicks or damaged surfaces that could cause interference when installing the torque converter into the crankshaft (6303). Check the converter front impeller hub for nicks or sharp edges that would damage the pump seal.
End Play Check
Description | Tool Number |
---|---|
End Play Checking Tool | T80L-7902-A |
Insert End Play Checking Tool T80L-7902-A into the torque converter pump drive hub until it bottoms.
Expand the sleeve in the turbine spline by tightening the threaded inner post until the tool is securely locked in to the spline.
Attach Dial Indicator with Bracketry TOOL-4201-C to the tool. Position the indicator button on the converter pump drive hub, and set the dial face at 0 (zero).
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 torque converter if the total end play exceeds the limits indicated in the chart below.
Loosen the threaded inner post to free the tool and remove the tool from the torque converter. Refer to the following chart for torque converter end play specifications.
