Torque Converter
- Torque converter is welded assembly and is not serviceable. If malfunction occurs or if converter becomes contaminated with foreign material, replace.
- Input shaft and valve body used with lock-up converter are significantly different from those used in transmissions utilizing conventional converter. Two different types of converters are NOT INTERCHANGEABLE .
- If starter ring gear on lock-up type torque converter requires replacement, complete converter must be replaced. Welding new ring gear onto lock-up converter will damage friction material used in converter.
