Hi guys (and girls if any)

Just got a replacement gearbox for the 300 and i'm having a hell of a time trying to get the torque converter in. It may be just me but i am not happy with it when i put it on the gearbox. It feels like it doesn't go in far enough.

I have around 25mm from the mounting studs to the face of the bellhousing but it just feels like its flopping a bit too much side to side.

When its fitted to the box, should it be pretty solid or be abl to move side to side?

I just don't think it has gone down far enough and locked into the "flats" on the end of the converter.

 

Any help or input would help alot.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Paul.

Are you sure it’s a TT box and not a N/A?

 

Oil pump drive is different between N/A gearbox and TT

 

If you put a straight edge on the face of the bell housing and measure to one of the four mounting studs on the torque converter you should have a measurement of 25mm+

pretty sure. It just seems like its too loose.

Should it be a snug fit or does it have play?

As you put the torque converter into the gearbox you should rotate it as it goes in. you should feel several clunks as it engages with the gearbox input shaft and oil pump.

 

Once fitted it should feel nice and snug with only a slight lateral movement.

Well i have it wrong then, this is flopping around like a D**k in a top hat.

I may take the front off the box and check the oil pump drive does fit the converter, just incase i have the wrong box.

check the part number on the gearbox:

 

TT RE4R03A

N/A RE4R01A
