This guy's awesome! So informative and keeps it trucking the whole time! Doesn't sit there wasting your time looking for tools or cracking stupid jokes, gets it done in a timely matter yet doesn't leave anything out. I wish they were all like this!
Many thanks! Always great to hear feedback like this.
That wad one of the most precise explanations, and there wasnt any extra junk like a lot of videos from instructors who love the sound of their own voice! Awesome job, mister!
Usually, I'm not working on Chrysler stuff, but the lesson I learned today, is very valuable! A BIG 'Thank you"!!
It actually amazes me that this whole thing is only held together with 4 very short bolts! Thanks for this video, you just saved me a lot of time!
Some are 3 bolts, M10-1.5x15 , 10.9
The 9.8 bolts should only be used in 4+ bolt design.
Right to the point. Man you did you a great job at explaining this. I’ve seen hundreds of videos covering different vehicles, atvs to power wheels and so on. You did a amazing job at talking about the subject at hand without drifting away to some personal story. Never waisted time about something that does not pertain to the task at hand. Good job.
60 years old and still learning new stuff 👍
We never stop 😂. Thanks for watching and for your time. Make sure to subscribe
I no longer have any Chrysler products, but I still enjoy watching your videos.
....and I greatly appreciate that! Thanks John for always following along. Merry Christmas
Great...I find this video AFTER doing a torque converter to transmission installation the hard way.
Thanks for having this video here for others to learn from there MCM!
Hate that it happened like than but now you know where to go to next time before you start. Thanks for ending up at this channel and for the comment. Make sure to subscribe.
Thanks David for sharing!! Hoping you and the people that are close to you have a wonderful Christmas
Thats man! I bet it will be a great one and the same to you too my friend!
I actually looked at this video because when I took my 2014 Chrysler 300 3.6 engine out to replace it, I threw all the bolts in one pile and now that I'm putting it back together I wasn't sure which bolts went to the torque converter. Mine has a different flywheel being RWD, but the bolts that I suspected to be the ones are indeed the ones I see you using here. I have the correct number of those non-flanged black 10.9 bolts, but thought surely they should have been flanged. This video cleared that up! Thanks
Dave is the man! I might not do anything with that but it’s all good to know! Keep going Dave!
Appreciate it. You never know if you need something until that “one day” 🤔😂. You will be prepared either way now
Thanks for the tip I am installing my torque converter today.
Great tip! As a DIYer I didn't know this, and is always a good thing to learn new tips and tricks to get things done the right way. Thanks!!
Appreciate you watching and never stop learning everything you can. Never know when you might need it
yep .. i am a DIYer myself .. wanting to go beyond manual transmission things ..
So @@MotorCityMechanic
@@JoshRay-hc2ci so what? 😂
Very intuitive teaching on minute difference can do a big job! excellent doctor!
Excellent! Especially the “Special Hole” part. I knew it forced the converter to be installed within tolerance but never thought to go with “THAT” hole first to save time. Makes total sense!
Thanks for the info David. I only got cars with three pedals but I still watched it 😂 - always good stuff. Merry Christmas!
I here ya! Thanks for watching none the less and Merry Christmas!
Thank you David. Good job. I appreciate your videos. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Thanks Billy! Merry Christmas to you and yours as well!
Helpful tip, I'm about to drop my 4.0 back in my 01 wj, tomorrow. Just set the torque converter in the trans tomorrow I'll be rock n Rollin!
Super cool to know, found it on my flex plate..Thankyou David
Mopar was always different with their flex plates, from the 60's (maybe the 50's) on they used an offset bolt pattern so it was wise to mark one bolt hole on the plate and converter with some paint. If using a new plate or converter you wanted to mark it before putting it all together. And many of them had the starter ring gear on the converter instead of the plate.
Damn your old🤣
Excellent David. Absolutely excellent!
Thanks Phillip! I appreciate it very much. Dont forget to subscribe and check out some of my other videos as well.
Thanks for the video! I am an avid DIYer and just surfing along in YT. I learned a lot from you tonight as I've never had to do this job in my Tacoma (fingers crossed). Keep up the great work you are doing. Sub'd.
Many thanks Rob! I appreciate you finding the channel and for watching. Always glad to share what little bit of knowledge I have.
thanks for that....it was a big headache, time saver...Getting ready to drop my 351w in my mustang and checking all my boxes so to speak..this be on that's definitely checked!
Your welcome and thanks for watching. Not sure if Ford does it this way.....Chrysler for sure. Make sure to subscribe.
Thank you sir I was having issue lining up one bolt I had two of them but it was slightly off as you mentioned im going to get back under and loosen the initial bolt I started with and try and tighten one of the others hopefully I get lucky and they all lime up or I'ma be spinning it for days .
Enjoyed the video and thanks for sharing the information. I think you might be teasing us with that PT Cruiser in the background. :-) I look forward to when you're able to continue the series on that one. It's been one of my favorites.
I do need to get back on it....just have soon much going on and other videos I need to get out in the mean time. Hopefully soon. Thanks for the kind words and for watching. Merry Christmas
Thanks for that.I've only discovered your channel.I think I'll find it useful.
Thank you! Wonderful explanation and description.
Nice description, clear and short ones
Thanks, that's the tip I needed on this chrysler.
Great video once again. Merry Christmas. Love you buddy
Thanks Randall. Much Bro luv!
Didn't know that, David. Thanks for sharing!
Your welcome. Glad I could throw some knowledge your way.
Another excellent vid David. Thank you.
Many thanks and the feedback and for watching. Merry Christmas
Great tip! I don't remember seeing that on the older dodge police cars.
Not sure when they started doing it. Dont remember seeing it 20 years ago when I first started out. Thanks for watching and Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year's to you and yours.
Much appreciated and the same to you and yours!
Thank you man this is a good point....merry Christmas...and have a good day 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Your welcome Paul! Thanks for checking the channel out
great help. Thank you!
Thank you for the info. You saved me a lot of headache.🤘

Thanks Big Dave, good info
Your welcome and thanks for watching
Great job...
Love the thorough and helpful tip video👍🏻
Much appreciated man. Nothing that you didnt know already lol. Merry Christmas Brian.
Merry Christmas to you and your family David!
Good tip thanks
Thankyou, Sir :) Long time I wondered - How does Bell-housing - Flex plate - TC - All be fitted together? Now I see :)
Thanks Leslie for watching and for commenting. Make sure to subscribe.
Thanks! Very clear video!
Your welcome! Appreciate the kind feedback
Good job on how you presented the video
Not a Mopar guy, (At least for a few years) But I'll have to see if GM does this. If not its a shame they, because they force us to do as you said and rotate, rotate, rotate! Good tip, well explained, simple to understand how it will same time and keep your brain temperature from boiling over cause you had to rotate the flex plate 20 times!
Excellent Tip.
Thanks. Appreciate the feedback. Make sure to subscribe if you havent already.
sir thank you so much for sharing your experience which was so mach helpfull.
I just subscribe and keep follow your great videos.
good job sir &
keep it up
See a bolt hole...insert a bolt...if it was the “odd hole” torque it all the way to spec...if it’s not...just finger tight...on to the next bolt
Potentially saves you a full rotation on an LS. If you have help, it’s no big deal, but by yourself, it saves a lot of time.
Thanks that's an excellent tip. I went to the garage and check some of my old GM and Ford Flex plates and didn't see any bolthole with the flat sides but all my stuff is from the 60s. The old Mopars from the era had the ring gear made to the torque converter and they had a separate 4 bolt plate that bolted to the crank
Your right. The older stuff was different....almost forgot about those days. I get soooo stuck on the new stuff that the old stuff disappears in my memory bank.
You are good at explaining this to me and I will be back
Much appreciated!
Good tip..new for me thanks
Thank you iam a beginner on this stuff or brand of car I've always just worked on my 59 Ford f 150 with 302 and c-4 trany with kick down so thank you very much
This was great information..something that seems to be silly is in fact very important..
It is something small for sure that can save some time. Thanks for watching and for the comment Greg.
Great tip, I've installed at least 6 of these pentastar engines/trans and I never noticed the one hole being different. However, I did have one engine where I had problems getting the last bolt in the torque converter and it wouldn't go until I loosened all of the rest. Now I know why.
Great tip thanks again
Appreciate the feedback. Yeah I had the same issues until that one day many many years ago when someone showed me and then I couldn’t believe it was staring me in the face the entire time 🤔😂
@@MotorCityMechanic ain't that the way of it?
Can't see the forest for the trees sometimes😎
Trace 23 Very true!
Great video
Happy I watched this video
Great vid. Thanks. I would though like to know about setting the torque converter into the bell housing
Awesome video. Good material as always that thorough and precise. Perfect for the DIYer!
Many thanks Timothy! Appreciate you checking out it and for following the channel. Merry Christmas
@@MotorCityMechanic Merry Christmas to you also
@@timothymroberts2949 Thank you sir
David I would love to pick your Chrysler brain sometime? May I PM you?
@@timothymroberts2949 Feel free to Tim if you havent already.
SICK INDEXING TIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks! Appreciate the comment
A lot of good information
Thanks Timothy. Appreciate you checking out the video and for commenting.
Great! Thanks
I've been looking for that special hole for years!
Never knew that but on my 79 F150 302 ci (C4), the four holes only align up one way. Plus the torque converter when installed has studs that protrude through the flex plate to be attached by 4 prevailing (flanged head) torque nuts. I learned through trial and error the Ford stamp goes up. This aligns every hole to install the 6 bolts to attach plate to the crankshaft.
Good tip David, and yes I knew about😉
Thanks, I figured you would lol
Great tip thanks
Your welcome Ben! Thanks for watching
my paw never told me about the SPECIAL hole ! thank you im a new man!!!
Well done David...easy to understand and I like how you explain things so newbies like me can understand. I'm trying to figure out where the clunking below the engine may be coming from when car is hot and in park/neutral (much less when in gear). Thinking loose TC bolts. :)
Straight up 👍🏾... I found the ⛳ hole... Lol
Thanks a lot for this video.. As a diyer, this video help me a valued guidance in doing my job..
Thanks a lot... from Malaysia..
Glad that I could help and thanks for reaching out. Make sure to subscribe
Thanks from Malaysia as well.. hehe.. I'm about to change the CVT belt in my car..
In my 2000 Chrysler town and country. My van wouldn't start took starter off found a bolt blocking my starter from starting. Well didn't know where the bolt came from so I put my starter back on. Van started right up running a little rough. Long story short the bolts for the flex plate all came out and left me stranded on the side of the road.
Joshua McCord great find, sorry it happened. Thanks for finding this video and make sure to subscribe
Thank you
thank you. very educative
Your welcome and thanks for commenting. Make sure to subscribe.
Well i'm now on my way to removing the 8 or so dam bolts my flex plate has because the last one is not threading in lol. I knew something had to be off and was concerned it was another thing. So , I'm hoping going back over these holes and seeing an indicator or something might give me the fix it needs to allow that last bolt to grab. Im already concerned because i've never messed with this before, but how hard can it be . lol ty sir
Thanks for that tip! I had to have machine work done on my 03 Frontier so I pulled the engine myself. They wanted $1500.00 for R&R. I figured while it was out I would change the transmission front pump seal. I know a little about engines but nothing about transmissions. Do I use Loctite on the converter bolts? Also, what is a good way to get that seal out since I don't have a puller? Do I grease or oil that seal before I put it in? I think a big socket or piece of PVC would work to get it in. Thanks again! PS No rush. I'm in lockdown here in Las Vegas because of COVID19.
Thanks bro
Man. Thanks that’s great.
Your welcome and thanks for being a loyal follower
At the crank bolts there is a small hole in flex plate put it op. Drain plug on comb.it works from 60s up
Great video David see you on the next video brother
Thanks for always following along!
You Know The Deal antonio👋👍
Thank you brother
Your welcome and thanks for watching
I wish I had known this last weekend....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great thank you
Your welcome. Thanks for checking this video out. Make sure to subscribe.
Sir, my question is, can we use torque converter with electric motor and head drive, instead of gear box and couplings, in conveyor belt system?
lol, I just did this on a 545RFE. I don't recall a special hole but I did rotate it more than once to pre thread the bolts. Then tightened bell housing, then final torque. The MOPAR manual says tighten the TC flex plate bolts last step after bolting in the xfr case and rear support member. I didn't wanna wait until it's all the way up high to do this so I did it after torqueing the bell housing while it was still lifted low. I hope this is ok lol. Comments? I can't imagine the shaft or anything would shift enough to cause a problem here when you install the xfr case
Hopefully this will save me when I put my new hemi in my 2500 ram!!!
thanks
