Notes |
| Please find the part numbers for the replacement Torque Converter Bolts in the tables below along with the relating tightening torque specs. |
| The part numbers listed in this bulletin are current as of Nov. 2010, please order bolts through a current parts guide or the EPC to ensure accuracy. |
For vehicles that use two different torque converter bolts, please refer to this illustration and instruction to determine the proper installation sequence.
- Always install and tighten torque converter mounting bolt Type 1 first. There is no specific position on the flex plate or torque converter, it simply needs to be tightened first to allow the centering feature ("A") to be effective. After tightening torque converter mounting bolt Type 1
, install and tighten the Type 2 torque converter mounting bolts. Never tighten Type 2 bolts first if a Type 1 bolt is used.
