- 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 for torque converter, checking

When torque converter is installed correctly, distance between lower contact surface of threaded holes at torque converter and contact surface of converter housing on Automatic Transmission 01V is approx. 23 mm.





If the torque converter is not inserted completely, this distance will be approx. 11 mm.

CAUTION!
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.

Pay particular attention to the following when installing the transmission.

CAUTION!
Keep checking to make sure the torque converter behind the drive plate can be turned before and during tightening the bolts at the engine/transmission flange.

If the torque converter cannot be turned, it must be assumed that it has not been inserted properly and that the coupling plate of the torque converter or the ATF pump will be destroyed during final tightening of the bolts.
