Assembly Note
Assembly Note1. Thoroughly clean all parts and blow dry with moisture free compressed air.
2. Inspect the converter housing and oil pump components for the following:
^ Cracks and scoring of the pump gears.
^ Front and rear input shaft bushings for scoring and wear.
^ Oil pump support needle bearing and cage for scored or missing rollers.
^ Pump gear pockets for scoring and wear.
^ Oil pump adapter plate for scoring and wear.
^ Oil pump-to-converter housing bushing for scoring and wear.
^ Pump body and case for burrs.
^ Fluid passages for obstructions.
^ Converter housing for cracks.
Note: Minor burrs and scoring may be removed with crocus cloth. If damage is found, the pump must be replaced as an assembly.
3. Install a new converter hub-to-converter housing seal onto Converter Seal Replacer SST 49 UN01 153.
Note: Check and make sure that the garter spring in the seal has not popped off of the converter hub-to-converter housing seal.
Caution: Place the converter housing on a block of wood or equivalent to protect the converter hydraulic passages on the back side.
Note: Do not finish converter housing and oil pump reassembly at this time. Assembly is completed during transmission assembly to correctly set front end clearance.
4. Use Converter Seal Replacer SST 49 UN01 153 and install the new front oil pump seal into the converter housing, until it bottoms in the housing.
