the proper way to install a torque converter

[@boonetesterman]

It probably wouldn’t fit in the bell housing but this would make the install a lot easier. Good vid

[@FlatBroke612]

That’s when the hack pulls it up tight with the bell bolts and if they manage not to bust an ear off the transmission they’ve bent the flex plate, then they start it up and tear the pump apart and burn up the thrust bearing on the crankshaft. I’ve seen that done sadly more than once...

[@camtheman559]

It's actually 3 clicks! Don't worry you will get better as time goes on! I'm 13 years old but I watch my dad do it on his drag car

[@jerrygarcia1665]

Yes definitely 3 clicks I've been a transmission mechanic for to many years 2 clicks equal a broken transmission pump 3 clicks make for a good install

[@Chuckseese]

I was 14 when my older brother taught me this doing my first transmission swap

[@camyboyyy_4744]

when I was 3 i did my first transmission swap

[@turtlemcturtleson]

@@jerrygarcia1665I’m not saying you’re wrong, I’ve been working on my frontier and got my torque converter in a few days ago and pushed the converter in until I got 3 clunks and gave it some more spinning just to make sure it’s in there. Today I tried to line up the holes for the flywheel and torque converter, only to find out that the torque converter is moving with the flywheel so I can’t line up the holes. I’m very frustrated and confused. I’ll be taking the trans out again soon, I just hope I didn’t mess up the trans fluid pump or anything else as I have all the bell-housing bolts on too

[@MattyIce2214]

I did my first converter swap when I was 2. I have to show my dad how to do it before I could walk.

[@freedom-volvo-usa]

That looked like it was two click I seated my torque converter and heard the clink I keep seeing people say it’s 3 clicks , but my converter is pressed up against the flex plate kind of tight I did swap out the 6.0 LQ9 for an lq4 and the flex plate I changed it for one that looks the same the “spacer “ for the flex plate I installed on the new one but it it’s very tight fit the converter to align it I had to use a pry bar to adjust the holes only thing I can think of is the flex plate didn’t need the spacer as it has a longer crank ?

[@johnphilyaw9043]

So anyone who watches this guy he's wrong there are 3 clicks on most and if you install it with it out 1 click you will damage the transmission. Good information though. Usually the rule I make sure a finger will not fit behind the converter and transmission

[@cooldude2245]

How much transmission fluid to put in torque converter before installing?

[@OtherDalfite]

That's insane that people could miss something like that. I figure the bell housing wouldn't even fit right if they missed that

[@jamesduhon8252]

some will fit without seating the converter properly so yeah its very important so that pump don't get fried ...the more you know I guess

[@PikachuG5]

Some people will make it fit by just going full send with the bolts.

[@LuminanceIsHere]

If you didn’t do the clicks, then your car won’t go forward or backwards right? Since the torque converter isn’t all the way in? My dad forgot to do that 😅

[@diesel46809]

Um, you wouldn't be able to hook up the bell housing to the engine block if it's not all the way in. You would be there awhile trying to figure out why the bell housing and the engine block are not together.

[@joebrons6849]

It’s possible man happened to me not too long ago

[@timcleaveley906]

My brother in law just put the bolts in and sent it. Ended up cracking the flex plate lol

[@ssss-df5qz]

Exactly. These kids don't have a clue. You'd feel the crank bind up as well.

[@MrwanMrwan-p4h]

تكمن 👍عمل جيد الله يبارك

[@robertkrieger8394]

Don't forget the third click

[@FernelyMorales-g4h]

Do it right bro...pressurr inwards anf spin in both directions...theres more than 2 clicks

[@dalevackar182]

That isn't all the way in.

[@twofeels3091]

Yes it is

[@dalevackar182]

Been rebuilding transmissions going on 44 years and you have to seat three different things. The input splines. The stator shaft splines and the pump gears. That's not in all the way. I can hear it.

[@MartinGumede-id7yf]

What if transmission fluid is leaking between gearbox and engine?

[@tehcardman]

If the transmission has a front saucer/dish/cover plate then it could be leaking out of the front dish gasket, just behind the torque converter and before the trans fluid pump. Typically 1-2 inner and outer Gaskets that can be replaced with a rebuild kit or by part number. Otherwise if the Gaskets are fine then your stater shafts (the shaft that slides into the oil pump assembly and mates with the torque converter) bushing/s or sealing rings (metal and/or Teflon) could be worn and need replacing. But typically it's the front cover Gaskets that leak, or it could be a leaking torque converter if you see the fluid collecting in the torque converter and dripping onto the shaft down to the weap hole on your trans housing at the bottom, Engine to gearbox. Also, the trans pump sometimes has an inner seal just like a front main crank seal, or a rear main seal. Check those and let me know

[@rajanmv-v3r]

Is this type gear box have knocking sound

[@DaeCRG1]

I remember learning to do this in auto class

[@jayferrell4456]

I rebuild transmissions for a living you would not believe how many pumps get destroyed on these Ford 4r70w, 4r75w, On Carrie ins. All install the torque converter and use a bracket to hold it in place and they'll still bring it back the next day with a broken pump because a torque converter wasn't in all the way😂😂😂

[@CalebMacIntyre-b9u]

Thanks bro

[@malcolmgodshield6837]

Wrong 3 clicks guys if anything spend extra time and imagine there are four clicks that way you won’t have issues

[@MisterVehicle]

👏👏👏

[@alfonz0010]

Its been a minute but its should be 3 and also your probably wouldn't f anything up because you wont be able to turn the flex plate due to it being stuck

[@noamhaziza8137]

i thought it was 3 clicks...

[@C.aarron977]

It is

[@chri93]

It would've bound up the engine and potentially broke the pump.

[@glynnpowell7864]

If you can’t figure this out on your own, you shouldn’t be pulling a transmission out

[@ssss-df5qz]

Except if it isn't all the way in the trans can't be fully mated up and you wouldn't be able to turn the crank. Don't give up your day job

[@af038]

You need another click

[@isaiahmoreland6952]

"The proper way" more like the only way😂😂

[@haroldfelts2079]

That's not new, I've been doing that since the mid-80s

[@wesleywhitt1530]

Not all the way in bro u need to go in one more that was only twice. U bout to bust that pump for sure

[@nb7466]

You put it in. Then just one big hit with a big hammer.

[@craigstreetzel7743]

Is this a 4l60🤔

[@swaggadiesstudio]

4L60E has 3 bolts for torque converter. also the converter clicks in 3 notches rather than 2 in this video

[@richietomlinson7950]

Either a E40D transmission or 4R100 both ford and for a gas motor being the torque converter has only four studs

[@Poaf-1]

Everyone k ow to push an spin it in

[@colinmertes5090]

Just keep spinning

[@TriStarWWPO]

LOL... Do better, man. DO NOT follow this advice unless you enjoy rebuilding transmissions!

[@jessetate004.]

It’s 3 clicks

[@raylee7654]

3 clicks

[@JavierSolis-n7c]

Bad example if you gonna explain do it right.... some have 3 clicks

[@josehtamayo8828]

No metió Nimadres

[@CharlesLease-ei1ee]

Never heard of it call the oil pump

[@davidlancaster2491]

The second click is the splines of the atf pump that's what he's referring to

[@homesteadhaven2010]

Transmission oil and engine oil. Kind of like calling a manual transmission a standard transmission. I have never in my life taken a ASE test called standard transmission.. Only manual.
