- Check converter hub for scoring from oil seal. If seal seat on hub is rough, worn or pitted, replace converter. Ensure chamfer for oil seal is rounded at the front. Remove sharp edges and burrs with fine emery cloth. DO NOT
damage surface where oil seal makes contact.
- If necessary, note installed position, remove oil seal and clean seal seat. Dip NEW oil seal in ATF and drive into position using seal installer. DO NOT
allow gas or solvent to contact silicone type seal.
