Isolating Vibration
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
NOTE:
Some engine/transmission combinations cannot be balanced in this manner due to restricted access or limited clearances between the torque converter bolts and the engine.
To isolate and correct a flexplate or torque converter vibration:
- With the engine at idle speed and the transmission in PARK or NEUTRAL, observe the vibration.
- Turn the engine OFF.
- Raise and suitably support the vehicle. Refer Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle (Base) , or Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle (Convertible) .
- Remove the torque converter access cover and the bolts (if equipped).
- Mark the relationship of the torque converter to the flexplate.
- Rotate the torque converter to inspect for defects or missing balance weights.
- Index the converter according to "Indexing Torque Converter" procedure located within this procedure.
- If the vibration remains, it is most likely caused by the engine.
- Refer to "Torque Converter Replacement Guide" located within this procedure.
