1. Refer to Chapter 7A.
Torque converter oil seal
2. Remove the transmission from the car as described in Section 8.
3. Remove the retaining strap then carefully slide the torque converter off the transmission shaft.
4. Note the fitted depth of the seal as a guide to refitting. Punch or drill two small holes opposite each other in the seal. Screw a self-tapping screw into each and pull on the screws with pliers to extract the seal.
5. Using a suitable tubular drift (such as a socket) which bears only on the hard outer edge of the seal, tap the seal into position, to the same depth in the housing as the original was prior to removal.
6. Lubricate the lips of the new seal with clean transmission fluid and carefully locate the torque converter back into position.
7. Refit the transmission to the car as described in Section 8.
