Torque Converter Contamination Inspection

Material:

1. If a new or remanufactured torque converter is not being installed, the following procedures must be carried out:
^ The torque converter must be thoroughly cleaned.
^ Torque converters with drain plugs can be cleaned by using a suitable torque converter/fluid cooler cleaner.
^ Torque converters without drain plugs can be cleaned by hand. Partially fill the torque converter using only recommended transmission fluid for the applicable transmission. Hand agitate the torque converter and then thoroughly drain the fluid. Refill the torque converter with new fluid specified for transmission and reinstall.
