Installing Fixture J-21371-3; Checking Converter End Play - Pontiac TRANS AM 1977 Service Manual

7A4-60 1977 PONTIAC SERVICE MANUAL
a. The thrust roller bearings and thrust races can be
checked by viewing them when looking into the converter
neck or feeling through the opening to make sure they are
not cracked, broken or mispositioned.
b. The stator roller clutch can be checked by inserting
a finger into the splined inner race of the roller clutch and
turn the race in both directions. The inner race should turn
fairly freely in a clockwise direction and not turn or be very
difficult to turn in the counterclockwise direction.
CAUTION: Do not use items such as a pump
cover or stator shaft to turn the inner race as the
results may be misleading.
8. Check for stripped converter bolt holes. If found
stripped, inspect for cause (such as damaged bolt threads),
heli-coil the damaged bolt holes and install new bolt(s).
