Want this question answered?
yes you should or have it rebuilt any contaminants from the torque converter went into the transmission..not unless you want to do it again soon
Around 11-12, but you have to fill and check continually to make sure you don't overfill.
yes it should
sounds like a ele. problem
It is very difficult to install any sort of shifter in manual transmission vehicles and should be done by a pro.
An automatic transmission uses a torque converter to pass energy from the engine into the transmission. A torque converter is essentially a tub of fluid secured to the engine's flywheel that acts like an adjustable vise when spinning. The converter pushes fluid through tiny compartments inside its tub to create pressure. When the pressure is high enough, the converter passes the spinning energy from the engine into the transmission. You should replace a torque converter that is broken or one that cannot handle the power of an engine. Matching the right torque converter to an engine adds to the life of the transmission and allows the engine to operate at a higher level of performance.
I assume you have the transmission out of the car. It has to be out to replace the torque converter. The old torque converter will just pull off, but you may have to spin it back and forth a couple of times. When you install the new one, slide it on the shaft and spin it back and forth while pushing it towards the transmission and it will slide back towards the transmission. You have to do this again, because it has two sets of gears that it has to engage. If it doesn,t slide back twice, you will never get the transmission to slide up to the motor correctly. You may get bolts in it, but you will break something trying to tighten the bolts. If the transmission does not slide up to the motor without a lot of force, you do not have the torque converter on all the way. If it does, you should be able to bolt the transmission to the engine fairly easily. Once the transmission is bolted up correctly, you can turn the flywheel to line up the three bolts that hold the torque converter to the flywheel. Make sure you torque the flywheel to converter bolts to the specified torque settings, and they will vary according to the specific transmission, usually around 45 FT LBS.
I would highly recomend you to replace the converter at the same time. I would also thoughly flush out the transmission oil cooler and lines. The transmission is an expensive investment and you don't wany ANY foreign material from the old, possibly blown transmission contaminating the new transmission. It would greatly reduce the life expectency.
what transmission is in it?? turbo 350??? My 82 firebird has roughly the same size torque converter and should hold around 4 liters. make sure you flip the torque converter on its side after you put some in so it drains into the sides of the converter, put another liter in and do the same. if you have any other questions email me at aka_sparxxx@hotmail.com
It depends on the year, There should be 2 before the converter and 2 after the converter. There will not be any after the muffler. Your truck may only have one depending on the year and it may have 4
your spacer plate and starter should be the same the flex plate and converter will need to be replaced
ATF+3 or ATF+4 should only be used to prevent transmission/torque converter shudder.
