Use the converter codes and physical measurements to confirm the correct match before installation. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Issues This Part Can Help Address

• Shudder or slip during torque converter lock-up
• Delayed engagement after shifting into gear
• Excessive engine flare under acceleration
• Vibration or poor drivability from a worn converter
• Transmission performance loss caused by internal converter wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the transmission code, converter codes, spline count, pilot dimensions, and mounting pattern before installation. Inspect the transmission fluid, cooler, and related hard parts for contamination or wear that could affect the new converter. Proper alignment of the pilot and hub is important for smooth installation and reliable operation.

Quality Assurance

TC Remanufacturing supplies remanufactured transmission hard parts for service replacement use. Confirm all measurements and fitment details against the vehicle and transmission before purchase to ensure the TO74 matches the application.
