Torque Converter Flushing

Whenever transmission has been disassembled to replace worn or damaged parts or because valve body sticks due to foreign material, converter must be cleaned using a mechanically agitated cleaner, such as Rotunda (014-00028). Under no conditions should converter be cleaned by hand agitation using solvent.

After removing torque converter from cleaning equipment, thoroughly drain remaining solvent from converter hub. Add 2 Qts. (1.9L) of clean transmission fluid to converter and agitate by hand. Thoroughly drain converter hub.

NOTE: Torque converter is a sealed unit and cannot be disassembled for service. Replace if found to be defective. Perform the following tests to ensure converter is defective before replacing unit.
