Remove torque converter 

• 1. Position transmission vertically.
• 2. Fit grab handles (065) to torque converter.
• 3. Remove torque converter from transmission housing.

1. 4.1 If there are metal shavings in the transmission oil pan: Drain transmission oil from torque converter through a clean cloth.

   If there are metal chips in the cloth, replace torque converter. In case of doubt flush out the torque converter with transmission oil.

   Remaining metal chips can cause transmission damage!
