Torque Converter Housing/Pump Assembly Removal





Notice: The bolts used to install the torque converter housing and the low and reverse clutch housing to the transmission case are similar in size and color. The low and reverse clutch housing bolts are, however, shorter than the torque converter housing bolts. Installing torque converter housing bolts into the low and reverse clutch housing may damage the transmission case. To help avoid torque converter housing bolts from being installed into the low and reverse clutch housing and vice versa, store the bolts separately. These bolts must be installed into their correct locations to help avoid transmission case damage.

1. Remove 18 bolts (1), one bolt (2), and one bolt (3).
