The front pump's job is to fill the converter with fluid. It provides the pressure necessary to engage gears. You don't have to "pre-fill" a converter.

Its like packing bearings, you could get a Masters from Harvard or Standford on it and make a KZread video and people will say you are doing it wrong, some people that are master mechanics absolutely positively swear on filling a converter before running it and some dont,that will never change. like a car battery on the floor,ive had a few old timers when i was younger yell at me "Get that battery of the floor!!!!", that has been debunked thanks to the internet, another one that blew my mind was the crankshaft thing,i have read extensively that in reality you dont have to stand a crank on its end but heck i still do, reason a lot of people do is because it saves space not because it will warp,anyhow, i just think its interesting all the different ways of doing things people have.

Shouldn't my axle input gears or whatever (the place with the seals where you plug in the axles) shouldn't those gears inside spin if the transmission torque converter is seated properly? I was thinking they would spin as I move the torque converter, but maybe I'm wrong. Thanks for the video!

Does anything need fluid/oil, etc when mating the new TC with the transmission?

Does it just sit in the flywheel anyway? I just installed a transmission and when I let off the gas my RPMs drop to idle and I have to hold the gas till the rpms catch back up

Hi, my Ford Expedition with the 6R80 transmission has thrown a PO741 torque converter clutch stuck off for a while now. The transmission shifts good and doesn’t slip or jerk but runs slightly higher RPM than before on the highway. The rebuild price I was quoted of $4,000 is not an option. Could I replace the Torque converter and do a fluid and filter change?

He was my teacher in 2010 when I used to go to Sypek Center I randomly found this video haha

Good info and thanks for the video - but I believe that's how everyone installs a converter ;)

easier way is to just spin the converter with the trans standing on end, and it will seat itself while spinning. should drop 2-3 times while spinning to reach the fully seated position.

How do you know if you have a bad torque converter or if it's even a torque converter in there when you drive cause I'm purchasing a car for dirt cheap with a new trans just don't know about the converter ?

Are you supposed to fill the converter with fluid???????

What if you fitted and the pump doesn’t work? Is there anyway to make the torque move in?

when torque converter is going out will transmission oil leak out?

@askcramer500

The converter is self priming you just fill the transmission

I think more emphasis on the importance of the placement of the Flywheel should have been addressed. The bellhousing is properly aligned with the centerline of the crank shaft and the flywheel is against the crankshaft (parallel to crank shaft flange). If the flywheel is not properly aligned you'll end up with all the same issues again. In order to get a proper alignment with little runout, I think it's the most important part of beginning the entire installation of the torque converter and will make the install that much easier when you move onto the Bellhousing alignment.

@askcramer500

I didn't talk about clutch pressure plate and flywheel alignment because this was a video on properly installing a torque converter in a transmission. The converter gets bolted to a flex plate not a flywheel so i didn't include flywheel info in the video.

Is there a way to confirm damage to the front pump if bolted up without being fully seated? I realized my error and dropped it. Removed the TC and reinserted it and it all seems fine but if I can confirm its ok without disassembling the trans, that would be ideal.

Thank you, I'm doing this soon. But - I have a pretty good trans fluid leak just streaming out, when the engine is running, coming from the flexplate cover area. I have the 4T65E out and don't see any problem with the torque converter, torque converter seal or the o-ring on the input shaft. But the pump shaft seems very loose. End play is 1.7 mm and the shaft can be easily pushed to one side or the other of the input shaft that surrounds it. The shaft can be easily rotated in either direction. Do you think it's possible that replacing the shaft could cure the leak? If not, Is there something else fairly simple I could look at? Thanks for any advice y'all can offer.

I have a 2007 Ford f 150 , just had tranny rebuilt and I’m feeling gears shift up and down with a kick/bang and getting on highway I feel no power , feels like it takes longer to get up to 65 but once there it drives ok also I’m getting a shake at idle and a knocking noise , didn’t have the noise prior to rebuild . The guy who fixed it says the tranny says it’s all normal that he used stronger more powerful parts so that’s what I feel and the loss of power is a pause in overdrive so I don’t go to fast ! Am I wrong to think that’s insane ? Can the wrong stall torque converter cause these issues or a transmission rebuilt the wrong way ?

Excessive side load on the input shaft from misalignment of the engine gearbox. (Transmission input shaft and engine crank Causes 1st gear shift issues, poor shifting, clutch wear, pilot and bushing noise and engine problems. The misalignment and all that happens as a result of the misalignment causes clutches and gears to wear out. The input shaft bears the damage and the splines on it wear.

I've got a question. I have a 97 cherokee drive train. I jack up the rear axle, the wheels spin. I put it on the ground, I get nothing. I have changed the transfer case, made no difference. Is it more likely the torque converter or the transmission as a whole?
