WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Buick Regal and 2003 Buick Century. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
To determine and correct a torque converter vibration, the following procedure may have to be performed several times to achieve the best possible torque converter to flywheel balance.
- Raise and suitably support the vehicle.
- Rotate the torque converter one bolt position.
- Align the torque converter hub (2) in the engine crankshaft (3) and install the torque converter to flywheel bolts. See Fig 1 . See REMOVAL & INSTALLATION - CENTURY & REGAL article.
- Lower the vehicle.
- With the engine at idle speed and the transmission in Park or Neutral, observe the vibration. See appropriate article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE. Repeat this procedure until you obtain the best possible balance.
- Install the transmission converter cover bolts and the cover. See REMOVAL & INSTALLATION - CENTURY & REGAL article.
