Awesome Detailed Tips!!!! Thank You For Your Time!!!!
No problem, thanks for the feedback I really appreciate it!
You explained amazingly thank you, I’m currently working on my 2000 civic automatic trans and I’m replacing majority of the important seals to really get this car in shape to drive. However I’ve only ever worked on manual transmissions, I’m 25 so what i understand and see from the video is rather than a clutch and flywheel it’s merged into this torque converter and it has a seal that connects to the engine. This would be the only important seal apart from rear main to swap on an auto trans? Very informative video again thank you
First, thank you very much for the feedback!
Yes, the engine has the rear main seal and the automatic transmission has a torque converter seal also known as a front pump seal which is installed in the transmission.
Thank you for the awesome video, very clear
Thank you, glad to help.
thank you, sir
You are most welcome!
Nice video,thank you👍
You’re welcome!
Thank you, my friend, for your nice Video. I also have the problem on my Tahoe 2007 2WD 5.3 LTZ that I see gear oil dripping between the gearbox and the engine. My question to you, which seals would you recommend to me to exchange. Since I am from Germany, help from professionals regarding GM is always helpful. Is it enough if I replace the seal like in your video, or does the Tahoe have several seals here that I should change. Thank you for your help.
If you’re taking out either the engine or transmission I’d replace both transmission converter seal and the engines real main seal so you won’t have to to the job again
@@motorcarnut thanks so much. Is it possible for you that you could give me a part number for both seals. I normally order from Rock Auto. But if I have a number this would be much perfect. Thank you for you help and I was Subscribe your Chanel. Very helpful. Nice job.
Great video thanks
Thank you!
My honda element has an auto tr. leak and I suspect the converter as fluid is coming from flywheel area. It has 160k miles. As I its beyond my scope, I will need to get a shop to do it. Would you recommend they also do the main oil seal? Cheers and thanks
Absolutely, it’s basically right there and shouldn’t cost that much more.
Hi I had 2 transmission seals leak took it back to the mechanic he said a sealed bearing caused the increas I pressure, does that makes sense?
Toyota dyna
It could very well be, because if the bearing that the torque converter rides on is worn it can create extra movement and will leak.
I was told by a shop that a cause of this is driving low distance constantly. False?
False
How can we come to know that leakage is from axle seal or front main seal ?
By location of the oil leak and fluid type. Clean both areas let them dry place vehicle over a clean surface overnight then see what location is leaking
I required to change the oil seal around the torque converter in the bell housing, but after I got the transmission out, the torque converter would not separate from the transmission. Why would that occur?
What vehicle are you working on?
Do I have to replace my whole torque converter if it’s just the seal leaking?
If the vehicle was shifting and driving fine and only leaking than yes just the seal.
I just replaced the seal but still there is oil leak!!
What could be the problem??
Is it leaking transmission fluid from that seal? When you install the seal or anyone for that matter you always tap it in on the outside perimeter of the seal never the inside because it will bend the seal in and cause a leak. Hopefully that’s not your problem
should the torque converter hub that goes into the tranny be really smooth?
mine has a layer of surface rust on some spots from sitting under a carport. also some light pitting.
should i just use fine sand paper to sand down the parts with the surface rust?
will the very small pitting affect anything?
It should be extremely smooth, yes. Try some wet/dry 1000 grit sandpaper with oil then a really fine steel wool pad and make sure to oil the hub when installing the converter.
Mine is leaking people say its from the tc seal and my mechanic wants to change all seals torque converter and pump is the pump really the problem car runs fine no codes just pisses out fluid
The Torque converter seal IS the front pump seal. There is no need to replace all seals unless they are leaking. If the car shifts normally and the fluid is fine , I see no reason to replace the pump. Usually during a transmission rebuild you do.
If it’s jut leaking do I have to replace to torque converter or just seal the leak?
Just the seal if your transmission is otherwise operating properly.
@@motorcarnut It’s working fine , but it does not make any difference that it is a CVT transmission ?
No, if it’s leaking in between the engine and transmission.
Can you tell me the part number of Toyota RAV4 my mechanic and Toyota dealer can't find it
How can’t the Toyota dealership not be able to find a torque converter or Front pump seal as it’s also called?
Hi i have been to two different places me, both replaced torque converter with second hand and pump and seal me paid 20k to each and its still leaking? I cant understand? Please any advice at all. Sunce im avout to sell the car at a humongous loss since it's still leaking from this exact seal
Why don’t you go back to whoever replaced it and tell them it’s still leaking? I don’t understand?
If you paid 20K for a torque converter replacement & seal, you have a much bigger issue. And twice? I'm confused. 40K could've bought a new car...mistyped, or are u for real?
I thought the same but probably a typo
❤
Thank you
They don't come out as easy as it look
Why? It’s just a seal.
Agree. I’m using a seal puller tool and it just bends up the seal but it doesn’t budge!
I bought the 2 pound slide hammer set from harbor freight. It comes with a hook that fits perfectly between the shaft and the seal. One slide of the hammer and the seal popped right out. This could help others that are struggling with the regular seal puller tool.
@curtbergeron703 I do that as well sometimes does work great!
