Torque Converter Leak Check: Inspection
- Clean the outside surface of the torque converter.
- Install the special tool into converter hub.
WARNING: Always follow correct safety procedures while using press. Failure to follow these instructions can result in personal injury.
- Position the torque converter with the installed special tool into an arbor press. Secure press. Apply enough force from press to seal tool into torque converter.
NOTE: Use clean dry shop air.
- Using the special tool, apply air pressure to the valve.
- With the special tool installed and air pressure applied to valve, inspect for leaks at converter hub, seams and studs. A soap bubble solution may be applied around those areas to aid in diagnosis. If leaks are present, install a new converter.
- Remove air hose. Release the pressure and then slowly release the press, and the tool. Remove the converter from the press.
