Installation





Note Check converter hub for traces of scoring. In the event of damage or faults, the complete converter must be replaced.

1. Grease the bearing pin of the converter with Longtime 3EP (Part No. 000.043.024.00).
2. 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.





3. Fix the converter in installation position with special tool 9595/1.

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