Installing torque converter
   
The ATF pump is driven via the torque converter -arrows-.
When installing the torque converter, ensure that this drive engages in the recesses of the internal gear in the ATF pump.
–  Push torque converter hub through oil seal onto input shaft as far as first stop.
–  Press torque converter against ATF pump by hand, turning it so that torque converter hub engages in recesses of internal gear in ATF pump. You should feel the torque converter sliding into place.

The torque converter is fitted correctly if the distance -a- between the flange on gearbox housing and the contact surface of torque converter studs is at least
a = 21 mm
–  It is important to ensure that distance -a- remains unchanged during subsequent assembly work. The torque converter must not slip forwards.
  WARNING
If the torque converter is not fitted correctly, the torque converter drive lugs or the ATF pump will be irreparably damaged when the gearbox is joined to the engine.
