Pic. 3.84. Cleaning and checking the oil line and oil cooler
When inspecting the torque converter clutch or changing the fluid, clean the oil line and oil cooler (pic. 3.84).
Note. Apply 196 kPa compressed air through the inlet hose.
Note. If there is a large amount of suspension in the working fluid, add new working fluid using a piston pump and clean the system again.
If the working fluid is cloudy, inspect the oil cooler (radiator).
Do not deform the torque converter clutch or damage the oil pump gears.
Pic. 3.85. Samples of serviceable and defective coupling bolts
If any contact is found at the end of the torque converter clutch bolt and at the base of the bolt hole due to increased clearances, replace the bolt and torque converter clutch (pic. 3.85).
All bolts must be the same length.
Bolts with washers must be used.
