Inspection Procedure
Use the following procedure in order to correct flywheel and torque
converter imbalance:
| • | Inspect for missing or loose converter-to-flywheel bolts. Tighten
the bolts or replace the bolts as necessary. |
| • | Inspect the converter for damage. Replace the converter if the
converter is damaged. |
| • | Inspect the converter for missing balance weights. Replace the
converter if the balance weights are missing. |
| • | Change the position of the converter-to-flywheel 120 degrees
at a time in order to cancel out engine and converter imbalance. Check for
vibration improvements in each position. |
| | Important: Ensure that the bolts are not bottoming in the holes. If the bolts bottom,
the cover could be dented and the internal clutch facing could be damaged.
After adding washers, always rotate the converter by hand in order to check
for clearance.
|
| • | Leave the converter-to-flywheel in the best balanced position if the
unbalanced condition still exists. Install longer flywheel-to-converter bolts.
Add or remove washers until the best balance is achieved. |
