1. Torque converter - welded block, if defective - must be replaced. Separately, only the bushing can be replaced.
2. Check up a condition of the plug. An inside gauge is required to check wear; measure the inside diameter of the bore and check if it exceeds the wear limit given in Specifications.
3. Removing the bushing requires a special tool and a sliding hammer. After installing a new bushing, the diameter should be within the specified limits. Sleeve expansion is not allowed.
4. Check that the cooling vanes on the inverter are securely fastened.
5. Install the turbine shaft in the converter and check that the turbine rotates freely.
6. If the fluid was dirty when draining from the sump, drain the fluid from the torque converter before installing the automatic transmission.
7. Prepare a container with a capacity of about 2 liters, a bottle and a tube with an outer diameter of no more than 8 mm.
8. Place the torque converter on a bench, support it so that it lies slightly tilted.
9. Cut one end of the plastic tube at an angle so that it is not blocked if it hits a flat surface, push this end into the torque converter hub until it touches the bottom.
10. Connect a plastic bottle to the other end of the tube, position the bottle below the level of the torque converter and squeeze it. The liquid will be sucked into it, and as soon as the liquid begins to flow out, remove the end of the tube from the bottle and point it into a large container. Evacuate the torque converter as much as possible. After assembly and installation, the converter will fill with liquid as soon as the engine starts.
