What It Helps Address

• Torque converter shudder during lock-up operation
• Delayed or inconsistent engagement from a worn converter
• Transmission vibration related to converter wear
• Drivability concerns tied to incorrect stall characteristics
• Fitment issues when replacing a converter with the wrong hub or mounting pattern

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the transmission code, converter codes 2216 and E, spline count, hub style, and mounting dimensions before installation. The Ford Edge application includes a non flanged hub note, so confirm the existing unit matches that configuration. Inspect the transmission, cooler lines, and fluid condition during replacement to help protect the new converter and the rest of the drivetrain.

Quality Assurance
