-  Slide in converter hub through the sealing ring 
up to the first stop. 
     
-  Rotate torque converter inward with light 
pressure, until the groove of the torque 
converter hub engages in the coupling plate of 
the pump wheel and the torque converter slides 
inward noticeably. 
     
Installation dimension  
    
If the Torque converter is inserted properly, the dimension between the 
surface of the mounting eyes and the surface of the torque converter 
housing is at least 23 mm.  
If the torque converter is not inserted completely, this distance will be 
approx. 11 mm.  
WARNING! 
In case of an incorrectly inserted torque converter, the coupling 
plate of the torque converter or the ATF-pump will be destroyed, if 
the transmission is flanged to the engine.
