REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF
TORQUE CONVERTER AND HOUSING
a. Removed
Remove transmission, as outlined in transmis-
sion section. Remove the torque converter hous-
ing-to-adapter plate bolts and washers. As the
housing is doweled to the adapter plate, care
must be exercised during removal. Do not re-
move adapter plate unless inspection reveals
it is necessary to do so. Do not hammer or
pry between the mating surfaces to loosen, as
the metal may be distorted which can result
in misalignment.
After removing housing, inspect mating sur-
faces of housing and adapter plates. Remove
all burrs or rough spots with emery cloth. Re-
move all obstructions, dirt etc. from vent hole
screens (when so equipped).
Remove the bolts holding metal dust shield
