ALL VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 4-SPEED AUTOMATIC
APPLICABILITY TRANSMISSION (4EAT)
SUBJECT: 4-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION TORQUE CONVERTER INSTALLATIONS
THIS BULLETIN IS FOR INFORMATION ONLY
If the engine or transmission is removed, for any reason, from a vehicle equipped with a 4-speed automatic transmission, extra care must be used during reinstallation.
If the torque converter and oil pump drive shaft are not fully seated into the oil pump rotor assembly, severe damage to the oil pump will occur when bolting the engine and/or transmission together. The mounting bolts should never be used to pull together the units. When the torque converter is installed correctly, the engine and transmission will slide together flush without using any bolts.
NOTE: When installing the engine or transmission, the units must be kept parallel to each other to prevent any damage to the oil pump drive shaft and oil pump.
