904 front seal

[67dodgedartconv]

Stupid question but I'm going ask anyway. I removed transmission and installed new front seal, coated with trans fliud and put the torque converter in. Trans is still out of car but had to remove converter again. Is it OK to reinstall converter with same seal or should I use a new one? I would think it's OK but don't want a leak. Thanks.

yes...you can reinstall the converter using the same seal...as always make sure the converter is fully seated.

The seal should be OK, but make sure you inspect the converter hub closely. The finish on the hub should be as smooth as a baby's butt. If it's not, you might be replacing the seal again and again.
To help make sure the garter spring on the seal stays in place, pack it with vaseoline or the like.

And if the TC is a factory one,check the hub for cracks. They like to start in the corners of the drive slots.

You are familiar with seating the TC right?

Yes, had it fully seated the first time, and had it packed with light grease to hold the spring in. Will check hub for cracks and smoothness. Thanks everybody.
