Installed one today and for the first time ever it slid right on all the way. I didn’t have to rock it rotate it nothing. Scared me a little. Measured it and it’s 1 and 1/16” in from the face of the bell housing. I may go play the lottery. Thanks for the video! Last Tim I installed torque converters I was in my teens, I’m now 56 so yes I watch videos.

Thanks for a good, clear, easy to understand video. There are several on You Tube that the narrator can't be heard, backtracks on steps and leaves you more confused than when you logged on ! ….Good Job guys !

Thank you, very clear. I'm about to do this but - I have a pretty good trans fluid leak, when the engine is running, coming from the flexplate cover area. I have the 4T65E out and don't see any problem with the torque converter, torque converter seal or the o-ring on the input shaft. But the pump shaft seems very loose. End play is 1.7 mm and the shaft can be easily pushed to one side or the other of the input shaft that surrounds it. Doesn't look right. The shaft can be easily rotated in either direction. Do you think it's possible that replacing the shaft could cure the leak? If not, Is there something else fairly simple I could look at? Thanks for any advice y'all can offer.

Shouldn't my axle input gears or whatever (the place with the seals where you plug in the axles) shouldn't those gears inside spin if the transmission torque converter is seated properly? I was thinking they would spin as I move the torque converter, but maybe I'm wrong. Thanks for the video!

What do you do if the gap is larger than 1/8 to 3/16 of an inch? Spacers(washers?) to close the gap?

Should the converter to pilot be a snug machined fit? I figured the bolts held it centered. If not i may have a bad flexplate for my 4l80e

I installed mine and then it was rough while spinning it. Turns out the pump bushing was pushed too far into the pump rotor so I had to press it down a little and then i tightened the bolts for the pump as it was on the converter so I knew it was good and spun free

Jake when you run a ruler across the bell housing and the center of converter is behind the bell housing. I don't believe yours was all the way in. I'm having the same problem with a c4 transmission mine won't go in I have spun and spun it. Help please

This is a GM transmission, though the installation is the same principle. Make sure you got the right torque converter and also make sure the spline count of your converter matches the input shaft spline count in the transmission. If it was rebuilt there is also a possibility of the input shaft being installed backwards. It can happen but the first issue might be your real issue. C4 came with different spline counts depending on the year. 24-spline vs 26- spline

I installed mine wrong and ruined at least the pump gear. I can clearly see where it gouged into the gear slots and will no longer seat completely. How would I know if I damaged the pump also? There's nothing clearly wrong with it and I ran a file across it to see if it was warped, it seems okay.. Should've watched your video first!

Converter is pinched either due to it not being seated all the way or crank pilot/ converter pilot is mismatched. Pull it and try again otherwise you'll have a hell of a racket and damaged drivetrain parts

He's using the depth gauge part of the caliper. It doesn't matter how you do it you're just measuring how far in the converter is from the bell housing.

@@killer2600 yes, but I wondered if it had an attachment that fitted it against the straight edge, rather than "eyeballing" it. Thanks for the reply.
