Vehicles with automatic gearbox

  • ‒ To secure the torque converter on the drive plate only use the correct nuts as specified in the parts catalogue.

=> Parts catalogue

→ If the torque converter is correctly installed, the depth between the contact faces at the bottom of the studs on the torque converter and the contact surface of the torque converter bell housing is about 22 mm.

If the torque converter is not fully inserted, this distance is about 10 mm.

Important!
If the torque converter is incorrectly inserted, the driver of the torque converter or the ATF pump will be severely damaged when the gearbox is attached to the engine.
