Attention! Removed torque converter (GTCM) store upright.
Prepare a container for collecting transmission oil, which flows out when the GTCM is removed.
Automatic transmission type «A5S 440Z»
Torque converter replacement (GTCM) automatic transmission type «A5S 440Z» must be done in the following order. Remove automatic transmission, prepare tools «24.4.000» And «00.2.550». Screw in fixture «24.4.000» into nests at GTCM (pic. 9.75). Take out the GTKM, collect the leaked oil and send it for disposal. Put the removed GTCM aside in a vertical position.
When installing GTKM, make sure not to damage the sealing ring and bearing. Install the GTKM on the input shaft of the automatic transmission and push it in to the first stop.
Press the GTKM into the automatic transmission housing with your hands and turn it so that the groove of the GTKM hub engages with the oil pump drive leash. At the same time, the GTCM will noticeably move inside the automatic transmission case.
Attention! If the torque converter is installed incorrectly, then when connected to the engine, the automatic transmission will be disabled due to damage to the oil pump drive shaft leash.
Using fixture «00.2.550» (pic. 9.76), check the distance between the mating plane and the surface of the threaded hole GTKM (installation depth of GTKM), which must be equal to or greater than 25 mm on all four supports.
After completing the work, check the oil level and top up if necessary.
Replacement GTKM automatic transmission type «A5S390R» And «GA6HP26Z» should be carried out in an illogical order, while the installation depth of the GTKM should be more than 30 mm on all three supports for automatic transmission «A5S390R» and 25 mm for automatic transmission «GA6HP26Z».
