After servicing a torque converter and reassembling it, which checks are required?

• A. Technician A
• B. Technician B
• C. Both Technician A and Technician B
• D. Neither Technician A nor Technician B

Answer: (C)

Verification after reassembly is essential to ensure the torque converter was put back together correctly and will operate safely. One technician focuses on the mechanical fit and installation details: confirming the torque on the flex plate bolts, that the converter seats properly in the transmission, and that there’s no binding or misalignment when the components rotate. The other technician concentrates on the functional and service-side checks: ensuring the transmission fluid level is correct, checking for leaks around seals and cooler lines, and performing a cautious function test to verify proper engagement and lockup in the different gears. Having both technicians perform these checks reduces the risk of missing installation or leakage issues and helps ensure the assembly will run reliably.
