– Measure the dimension -a- between the screw-on flange of the
gearbox housing and the contact surface of the threaded
bores of the torque converter using a depth gauge.
• The converter is correctly installed if the dimension -a- is at
least 19.5 mm.
– Absolutely ensure that the dimension -a- is maintained during
further assembly. The torque converter must not slide to the
front.
Caution
If the converter is installed wrongly the driver of the torque
converter or the ATF pump will be destroyed when the gearbox
on the engine is connected at its flange.
When subsequently installing the gearbox, the following point
must be observed.
Caution
Always check before and while tightening the screws on the
flange (engine/gearbox) whether the torque converter behind
the drive plate can be turned. In cases where the torque con‐
verter cannot be turned one must assume that it is not properly
installed and that either the driver plate of the torque converter
or the ATF pump will be destroyed during final tightening of the
bolted connections.
