Common Issues This Part Addresses

• Restores proper torque converter lock-up operation
• Replaces a worn or slipping converter in GM automatic transmissions
• Helps correct drivability concerns tied to incorrect stall speed
• Addresses fitment problems caused by mismatched spline count or pilot diameter
• Supports replacement of converters identified by BG, BG4C, BG8D, L7, M7, or P6 codes

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the transmission’s converter code, spline count, bolt circle, pilot diameter, and mounting style before installation. This B16BGD uses a 30 spline count, 10.750 bolt circle, 3-pad mounting, and slotted hub, so matching the original unit is important for proper engagement.

Confirm the vehicle application against the listed fitment before ordering, especially on Chevrolet C10, GMC C1500, and Pontiac Firebird applications where multiple converter variants were used across the same model years.

Quality Assurance

TC Remanufacturing supplies remanufactured drivetrain components for transmission service, and the B16BGD is specified with the core dimensions and converter codes needed for accurate replacement selection. This part cross-references no additional part numbers in the provided data.
