CLEANING AND INSPECTION

Converter and Fluid Cooler

Tools Required:

When internal wear or damage has occurred in the transmission, metal particles, clutch plate material, or band material may have been carried into the converter and oil cooler. These contaminants are a major cause of recurring transmission troubles and MUST be removed from the system before the transmission is put back into service.

Whenever a transmission has been disassembled to replace worn or damaged parts or because the valve body sticks from foreign material, the converter, oil and oil cooler lines MUST be cleaned and flushed by using the Rotunda Torque Converter Cleaner 014-00028 or equivalent. Under NO circumstances should an attempt be made to clean converters by hand agitation with solvent.
