Common Uses

• Restoring proper torque transfer in a worn automatic transmission
• Replacing a converter with lock-up clutch concerns
• Addressing drivability issues tied to incorrect stall characteristics
• Correcting fitment problems caused by mismatched spline or pilot dimensions
• Servicing transmission rebuilds on Ford Escape, Mazda Tribute, and Mercury Mariner platforms

Installation Notes

Verify the transmission code, spline count, pilot diameter, pilot length, and bolt circle before installation. Confirm the converter codes on the pilot match the application requirements: H stamped on pilot, 5L, or 5L8P. Proper seating in the transmission and alignment with the pump are critical for a successful installation. Always inspect related transmission components and fluid condition during replacement.
