To flush the automatic transmission torque converter, use:
* Special automatic transmission flush fluids: They contain cleaning additives and solvents designed to remove contaminants and deposits from the torque converter and other automatic transmission components.
* ATF (Transmission Fluid): Fresh transmission fluid can be used to flush the torque converter, but it may be less effective than dedicated automatic transmission fluids.
* Water and carburetor cleaner solution: Some mechanics use this solution to flush the torque converter. It can help remove heavy deposits and contaminants, but should be used with caution to avoid damaging automatic transmission components.
Procedure for flushing the automatic transmission torque converter:
1. Remove the torque converter from the automatic transmission.
2. Pour flushing fluid into the torque converter.
3. Rotate the torque converter shaft by hand or using a pneumatic tool. This will help dissolve and remove contaminants.
4. Drain the flushing fluid and repeat steps 2 and 3 as necessary.
5. Blow out the torque converter with compressed air to remove any remaining flushing fluid.
6. Install the torque converter on the automatic transmission.
