Installing the torque converter

Information
^ Check converter hub for traces of scoring. In the event of damage, the converter must be replaced.

1. Carefully push converter onto transmission shaft as far as the first stop. Then press converter by hand into the converter bell housing and turn it until the recess in the converter hub engages in the driver of the impeller and the converter perceptibly slides inward.

Warning
If the installed position of the converter is incorrect, the ATF pump can be destroyed when the transmission is flange-mounted to the engine.





2. Fix converter in installation position with special tool (locating pin) 9595/1.
