Flex Plate/Torque Converter Vibration Test Flywheel

1. Start the engine.
2. With the engine at idle speed and the transmission in PARK or NEUTRAL, observe the vibration.
3. Turn OFF the ignition.

1. Remove the converter cover attaching bolts.
2. Remove the flywheel-to-torque converter attaching bolts.



3. Rotate the torque converter 1/3 turn.

1. Install the flywheel-to-torque converter attaching bolts.

Tighten
Tighten the bolts to 63 N·m (46 lb ft).

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

2. Install the converter cover bolts.

Tighten
Tighten the bolts to 10 N·m (88 lb in).

3. Start the engine.
4. Check for vibration. Repeat the procedure until the best possible balance is obtained.
