Caution: The torque converter dry weight is approximately 29 kg (63 lbs.). To help avoid personal injury and/or property damage:
^ Use caution when installing, removing, or moving the torque converter.
^ Get help when lifting the torque converter. Assistance from a hoist or another person is required.
^ Make sure J46409 T-handles are installed securely and that any lifting equipment used can properly support the torque converter.

1. If not installed, install J46409 T-handles, positioned 180 degrees apart, into two threaded bosses on torque converter (1).
2. Raise the torque converter over the torque converter housing.
3. Lower torque converter (1) over the turbine shaft and the ground sleeve and into the main pump assembly.
4. Make sure the torque converter is seated in the main pump assembly.

Important: The torque converter may not be seated if the J21366 retaining device cannot be installed.

Caution: The torque converter must be held to the torque converter housing by a retaining device such as shipping brackets. Without the retaining device, the torque converter may slide forward, disengaging the oil pump, or may fall completely out of the transmission causing personal injury and/or property damage.
