- Attach a dial indicator to tool with button on indicator on converter pump drive hub. Zero dial face. Lift tool upward as far as tool will go and note indicator reading. See Fig 1
.
- Reading is total end play of turbine and stator. If end play exceeds .023" (.58 mm) for new or rebuilt converter, or .050" (1.27 mm) for used converter, replace torque converter assembly.
