Installing the torque converter
Installing the torque converter
Special tools and workshop equipment required
t  Depth gauge
Work procedure
–  Carefully push the torque converter hub through the gasket ring up to the first stop on the input shaft.
–  Press the torque converter by hand into the converter housing and turn it until the recesses catch into the torque converter hub in the driver of the inner gear of the ATF pump and the torque converter locks audibly into place.
   
–  Measure the dimension -a- between the screw-on flange of the gearbox housing and the contact surface of the threaded bores of the torque converter using a depth gauge.
l  The converter is correctly installed if the dimension -a- is at least 19.5 mm.
–  Absolutely ensure that the dimension -a- is maintained during further assembly. The torque converter must not slide to the front.
  WARNING
If the converter is installed wrongly the driver of the torque converter or the ATF pump will be destroyed when the gearbox on the engine is connected at its flange.
When subsequently installing the gearbox, the following point must be observed.
  WARNING
Always check before and while tightening the screws on the flange (engine/gearbox) whether the torque converter behind the drive plate can be turned. In cases where the torque converter cannot be turned one must assume that it is not properly installed and that either the driver plate of the torque converter or the ATF pump will be destroyed during final tightening of the bolted connections.
