Stator Check
- Torque converter stator roller clutch can either remain locked up at all times or freewheel in both directions. If stator is freewheeling at all times, vehicle tends to have poor acceleration from a stop. Vehicle may act normal at speeds greater than 30-35 MPH.
- If poor acceleration is noted, ensure exhaust system is not blocked, engine timing is correct and transaxle is in 1st gear when starting from stop. If stator is locked up at all times, performance from stop appears normal. Engine RPM and acceleration is limited at high speeds. Engine may overheat from this condition.
