To install the gearbox, do the following:
Pic. 173. Place of measurement of distance «A»
- Insert the torque converter into the gearbox. To ensure its normal fit, you need to measure the distance from the mating surface of the gearbox to the torque converter pin. To do this, put a ruler on the surface and take a measurement with a depth gauge (pic. 173). This dimension should be 10 mm. If the size is smaller, then the torque converter is not properly engaged with the oil pump;
