90 Bronco

[MrTits]

First, I'm new...Hi!

I just picked up a 90 Bronco that needs a torque converter installed (the new one is sitting on the drivers seat). Does anyone have any tips on changing this out? Any snags i should be aware of? that kind of stuff would be helpful.

i will put up a m-n-g in the introductions after this weekend, i will be taking pictures of the work to get 'er on the road.

thanks

Mr. ( . Y . )

Torque Converter Cleaning & Replacement Guidelines TSB 96-26-12 for 85-96 by Ford

note this;

"If the torque converter is not being replaced, the following actions must take place:

1. The torque converter must be thoroughly cleaned:

a. Torque converters with drain plugs can be cleaned using the Rotunda Torque Converter Cleaner. Follow the instructions included with the equipment.

b. Torque converters without drain plugs can be cleaned by hand. Partially fill the converter using clean transmission fluid (as recommended for the particular transmission). Hand agitate the converter and then thoroughly drain the fluid. Refill with new fluid, specified for the transmission, and reinstall.

2. All cooler lines must be thoroughly cleaned by Back and Forward Flushing using Service Manual procedure.

3. All coolers (in-tank and auxiliary) must be thoroughly cleaned by Back and Forward Flushing"

we flush by just pouring tranny fluid through lines; a portable air compressor (tire, bike tire etc.) works ok

& Automatic Transmission Filter, In-Line TSB 00-23-10 for 89-96 Bronco & F Series, etc. by Ford

& this is the filter that Ford specifies although some use aftermarket types by Fram, etc.
