Torque Converter Flushing: Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Ford Econoline. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
When the transmission has been repaired for internal damage the torque converter must be cleaned using a mechanically agitated cleaner.
- Using a suitable torque converter/fluid cooler cleaner, clean and flush the torque converter.
- After flushing, drain the remainder of the solvent.
- Add 1.9 liter (2 qt.) of clean transmission fluid to the converter and agitate by hand.
- Thoroughly drain the solution.
