NOTE: Observe converter when moving the
transmission rearward. If it does not move with
transmission, pry it free of flywheel before
proceeding.
CAUTION: Keep front of transmission upward
to prevent the converter from falling out. Install
converter holding Tool J-9549 immediately (or
a sim ilar tool constructed as shown in Figure
3PG, or, in an emergency, a length of strong
wire may be used) after removal from the
engine.
Installation
NOTE: The "light" side of the converter is de­
noted by a "blue" stripe painted across the ends
of the converter cover and housing. This mark­
ing should be aligned as closely as possible with
the "white" stripe painted on the engine side of
the flywheel outer rim, denoting the "heavy"
side of the engine.
1. Mount transmission on transmission lifting equip­
ment installed on jack or other lifting device.
2. Remove converter holding tool.

Proper operation of the Powerglide transmission may
be affected by a number of factors, all of which must be
considered when trouble in the unit is diagnosed.
Proper trouble diagnosis can only be accomplished
when performed in a thorough step by step procedure.
The following procedure has been devised and tested and
is recommended for all trouble diagnosis complaints and
if the service man will follow this checking procedure,
accurate and dependable diagnosis may be accomplished.
This will result in a savings of time, not only to the serv­
ice man, but to the customer as well.
WARMING UP TRANSMISSION
Before attempting to check and/or correct any com­
plaints on the Powerglide transmission it is absolutely
essential that the oil level be checked and corrected if
necessary. An oil level which is either too high or too
low can be the cause of a number of abnormal conditions
from excessive noise to slippage in all ranges.
It must be remembered that cold oil will slow up the
action of the hydraulic controls in the transmission.
this reason a trouble or oil leak diagnosis should not be
attempted until the transmission has been warmed up by
either of the following procedures:
