TORQUE CONVERTER (Part

sprag-type
clutch with a roller-type clutch.
Also,
the
bronze

thrust
washers
have been
replaced with
aluminum coated stamped
thrust
washers and
flat
steel retainers.
The
design
of
the
new
thrust
washers
is
such
that
a new
longer
locking
rod
(Tool T63P-7902-A)
will
be
required
for
use with
the
existing
converter
clutch
checking
tool.
The
checking
procedure
is
the
same as
for
previous
model con
verters.

same
as
in
the
1962

with
the
exception
of
the
eliminated
parts shown

will
have longer flywheel mounting
stud
pads and
a
longer
crankshaft pilot,
in
order
to
provide
adequate pilot
ing
in
the crankshaft and maintain
the
same
converter
to

and
the
planet carrier,
a new

previously
used.
