350 turbo torque converter

The transmission would be modified so that the transmissions behind the stronger engines were able to handle the additional torque. The most torque from an engine that this transmission was applied to was lb-ft. This is an automatic transmission that is longitudinally mounted, making it applicable for rear-wheel drive cars. This transmission is a 3 speed, and no overdrive gear was available. The gear ratios used for this transmission were 2. The Turbo transmission was a single piece transmission with the bell housing integrated into the transmission body.

The transmission casing is made of cast aluminum. The TH was also known for its quite short length, with an overall length of That also converts into a lighter transmission that carries a weight of pounds.

The TH takes about 4 quarts in the pan, and then requires additional based on the torque converter being used. When combined with a 9. Pour at least one quart of ATF into the torque converter before installing it into the transmission.

The torque converter can be very difficult to install into a freshly rebuilt transmission. However, gravity can be your friend here, and it may be necessary to stand the transmission on end. Here, I have strapped the bellhousing to one of the lift posts to install the torque converter. When fully seated in the transmission, there should be very little room between the back of the torque converter and the oil pump.

The torque converter must be installed and fully seated in the transmission before it can be installed in the vehicle. This may take several minutes, because you need to align the input shaft, stator shaft, and oil pump drive. Turn the converter while pushing it rearward at the same time.

Use a retaining strap to keep the torque converter from falling out of the transmission until you are ready for the installation. Once you have installed the torque converter, spin it several times to make sure there are no tight spots or binding. Do not attempt to install the transmission unless the converter is fully seated. Any attempt to pull the transmission up to the engine with the bellhousing bolts can damage the oil pump. Place the transmission on the jack and secure it with a chain or strap.

Adjust the transmission jack so the transmission is angled back slightly while it is raised into position. If you are working by yourself, you may want to install one bolt and a piece of flat bar bent in slightly temporarilyto hold the torque converter in the transmission.

Determine if the filler tube needs to go in before lifting the transmission into place, or if there is room to install it afterward. With many modern vehicles, the curve of the bellhousing and proximity to the firewall does not allow the tube to be installed after the transmission is in place and bolted to the engine. If the stock torque converter is being replaced, it should be test-fitted to the back of the crankshaft to make sure the hub fully seats.

If a new torque converter is being installed, be sure to measure the front hub on the torque converter and the recess on the back of the crankshaft. Before installing the transmission, a test fit between the two components is a good idea. Check the size of the holes in the flex plate before installing the transmission.

Some aftermarket converters require larger bolts and the flexplate must be drilled to accept them. Find this out before installing the transmission and bolting it in place! The converter should fit tightly into the crankshaft, but still seat fully and turn freely. This step is extremely important, because the relationship between the converter and crankshaft maintain perfect alignment between the parts.

Cut off the end and slot it to accept a flat-blade screwdriver for easy removal once the transmission is in place. The upper bellhousing bolts can be difficult to access. To help support the socket, wrap it with a piece of electrical tape as shown. Some flex plates do not have the needed bolt pattern for the new converter. Some high-performance converters are also set up for larger bolts than the factory converters.

To help guide the transmission onto the engine, make a couple of guide studs. Slot them with a hacksaw or cutting wheel so they can be turned with a flat-blade screwdriver.

Install them just above the dowel pins on each side of the engine block. As the transmission is raised into position, slide it over the dowel pins. Use the adjusters on the transmission jack to keep the transmission well aligned with the engine.

Slide the transmission forward on the alignment studs and onto the dowel pins. Install at least one bolt on each side of the bellhousing. Slowly tighten the bolts evenly and pull the transmission until it is fully seated against the engine. Free Local Pickup. Show only. Free Returns. Returns Accepted. Authorized Seller.
