Torque converter, installing


Special tools and equipment

Depth gauge

- Slide in converter hub through the sealing ring
up to the first stop.

- Rotate torque converter inward with light
pressure, until the groove of the torque
converter hub engages in the coupling plate of
the pump wheel and the torque converter slides
inward noticeably.

Installation dimension

If the Torque converter is inserted properly, the dimension between the
surface of the mounting eyes and the surface of the torque converter
housing is at least 23 mm.
If the torque converter is not inserted completely, this distance will be
approx. 11 mm.
WARNING!
In case of an incorrectly inserted torque converter, the coupling
plate of the torque converter or the ATF-pump will be destroyed, if
the transmission is flanged to the engine.
