Place a piece of soft solder (approximately 10 mm long and 3 mm in diameter) on the torque converter housing, as shown in the illustration.

Install the torque converter housing onto the transaxle case without sealant. Tighten the mounting bolts to the specified torque. Loosen the mounting bolts and remove the solder. Using a micrometer, measure the thickness "T" of the compressed solder. To obtain the specified preload, select a spacer with a thickness within the specified range.
Specification: 0.045 – 0.105 mm. Spacer thickness = (solder thickness "T") + (specified preload)
