CAUTION:

After cleaning the transmission components, allow to air dry. Do not use cloth or paper towels in order to dry any transmission components. Lint from the towels can cause component failure.

CAUTION:

Do not reuse cleaning solvents. Previously used solvents may deposit sediment which may damage the component.

CAUTION:

Do not use abrasive pads or bristle devices to clean the sealing surfaces. Abrasive pads produce a fine grit that can effect transmission function. Abrasive pads can also remove enough metal to create oil leaks.

Preliminary Procedure Thoroughly clean the torque converter housing, including case threads with clean solvent.
