Incorrect torque converter or flywheel/flexplate installation can result in transmission
damage. When installing an engine, flywheel or transmission, please follow the
installation procedures outlined in ELSA. For the flywheel/flexplate, please be
certain the correct shim is installed between it and the crankshaft (reference
VWIQ120). When installing a torque converter, press the torque converter hub
through the seal as far as the first stop. Turn the torque converter while pushing
toward the transmission using light force, until the cut outs in the torque converter
hub lock into the pump wheel plate. The torque converter slides in. The torque
converter is installed correctly if it is easy to turn by hand and if it fits evenly in the
transmission bell housing. Additionally, it should spin freely when the transmission
bell housing bolts are torqued to the engine block, prior to installation of the
flywheel to converter bolts (reference VWIQ121).
