NOTICE:
Failure to take proper precautions before and during installation of the torque converter can cause damage to other parts.
•Check the pump hub portion carefully before installing the torque converter. A torque converter having nicks, burrs or other damage at the pump hub portion will damage the oil seal, causing oil leakage. If the hub portion is damaged in any way, replace the torque converter.
•Do not drop the torque converter when installing it. If you drop the torque converter, it will damage the oil pump gear and cause a critical defect in the operation of the A/T.
•Install torque converter while aligning grooves (1) of torque converter with projections (2) of oil pump drive gear.
Install torque converter using care not to damage oil seal of oil pump.
•After installing torque converter (3) check that distance “a” is within specification.
