1. INSTALL TORQUE CONVERTER ASSEMBLY
(a) Engage the splines of the input shaft and turbine runner.
(b) Engage the splines of the stator shaft and stator while turning the torque converter assembly.
HINT
If the stator shaft splines are difficult to engage with the stator splines, move the torque converter back approximately 10 mm (0.394 in.) and engage the splines while rotating the torque converter assembly.
(c) Turn the torque converter assembly to engage the key of the oil pump drive gear into the slot on the torque converter assembly.
(d) Using a vernier caliper and straightedge, measure dimension A between the transmission contact surface of the engine and the torque converter contact surface of the drive plate.
(e) Using a vernier caliper and straightedge, measure dimension B shown in the illustration and check that dimension B is more than dimension A, which was measured in the first step.
Standard::
B = A + 1 mm (0.0394 in.) or more
NOTICE:
* Make sure to deduct the thickness of the straightedge.
* If the transmission is installed to the engine with the torque converter not sufficiently inserted, the torque converter may be damaged.
