TORQUE CONVERTER CLEARANCE

1. SCALE
2. STRAIGHTEDGE
NOTE:

If the torque converter hub is severely scored or gouged, it must be replaced.

  1. Check torque converter hub and hub drive flats for sharp edges burrs, scratches, or nicks. Polish the hub and flats with 320/400 grit paper and crocus cloth if necessary. The hub must be smooth to avoid damaging pump seal at installation.
  2. If a replacement transmission is being installed, transfer any components necessary, such as the manual shift lever and shift cable bracket, from the original transmission to the replacement transmission.
  3. Lubricate oil pump seal lip with trans jell or petroleum jelly.
  4. Align converter and oil pump.
  5. Carefully insert the torque converter in oil pump. Then rotate converter back and forth until fully seated in pump gears.
  6. Check the converter seating with a steel scale (1) and straightedge (2). The surface of the converter lugs should be at least 28.2 mm (1.12 in.) to rear of the straightedge when the converter is fully seated.
  7. Temporarily secure converter with C-clamp.

  8. Position transmission on jack and secure it with chains.
  9. Check condition of the flexplate. Replace the flexplate if cracked, distorted or damaged.
    NOTE:

    Also be sure transmission dowel pins are seated in engine block and protrude far enough to hold transmission in alignment.

  10. Align the close tolerance torque converter bolt hole (1) in the flexplate so that the first torque converter bolt is installed here. The close tolerance bolt hole may be identified by two white painted lines (2) flanking the bolt hole.
  11. Support the rear of the engine with a safety jack.
    CAUTION:

    The engine must be supported when removing the transmission. Failure to do so will result in damage to the exhaust system and other components.
