Stator One-Way Clutch Check
- Insert one-way clutch Holding Wire (T77L-7902-R) into one of the grooves in stator thrust washer. Insert Torque Adapter (T76L-7902-C) into converter pump drive hub so as to engage one-way clutch inner race.
- Attach a torque wrench to torque adapter. With clutch holding wire held stationary, turn torque wrench counterclockwise. See Fig 1
. The converter one-way clutch should lock-up and hold a 10 ft. lb. (14 N.m) force. One-way clutch should rotate freely in a clockwise direction.
- Repeat lock-up test in at least 5 different locations around torque converter. If clutch fails to lock-up and hold, replace torque converter.
