Torque Converter: Service and Repair
NOTE:
-
When internal wear or damage has occurred in the transmission, metal particles, clutch plate material or band material may have been carried into
the torque converter and transmission fluid cooler. These contaminants are a major cause of recurring transmission troubles and must be removed
from the system before the transmission is put back into the vehicle.
-
Whenever a transmission has been disassembled to replace worn or damaged parts or because the valve body sticks from foreign material, the
torque converter and transmission fluid cooler must be cleaned by using a mechanically agitated cleaner.
1. Flush the torque converter of the remaining solvent.
(1) Thoroughly drain the remaining solvent through the converter drain plug.
(2) Add 1.9 liter (2 qt) of clean transmission fluid to the torque converter. Agitate by hand.
(3) Thoroughly drain the solution through the converter drain plug.
