Buying a used torque converter: what to check
- Inspect hub neck snout and drive notch: Check the small transmission pump drive neck for deep grooves, burrs, or rounded drive blade notches.
- Verify internal stator one-way clutch operation: Insert a spline tool into the stator hub to confirm it locks firmly in one direction and spins freely in the other.
- Check starter ring gear tooth condition: Examine outer perimeter ring gear teeth for chipped, rounded, or ground-down teeth caused by starter engagement failures.
- Confirm pilot hub diameter and bolt pattern: Measure pilot stub diameter and bolt circle spacing to match your engine crankshaft and flexplate layout.
- Fully seat converter splines before transmission bolting: Spin and push the converter until it drops past two distinct spline steps into the oil pump drive.
