Flushing Converter

NOTE: Torque converter is a sealed unit and cannot be disassembled for service. Replace if found to be defective. The following tests will identify a defective converter.

Whenever transmission has been disassembled to replace worn or damaged parts, or because valve body sticks due to foreign material, converter and oil cooler must be cleaned using a mechanically agitated cleaner (Rotunda 1400028). Under no conditions should converter or oil cooler be cleaned by hand agitation using solvent.
