Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / October 2004Converter alignment tool?
Who has the torque converter alignment tool that is for lease or rent? Bad words - but, I'm going to need it. > Who has the torque converter alignment tool that is for lease or rent? > Bad words - but, I'm going to need it. Torque converter? I'm not aware of any torque converter allignment issues...  SignatureJT Just tooling through cyberspace in my ancient G4 I believe you are supposed to use them in the DG series > > Who has the torque converter alignment tool that is for lease or rent? > > Bad words - but, I'm going to need it. [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Just tooling through cyberspace in my ancient G4 I think this is sorta' like the upper outer A-arm eccentric issue. A lot have been put together without the tool. I used to borrow one of these tools from a SDC mechanic; but he died and his widow has no idea what I'm talking about. I may wind up by using the guess method that other folks use all the time. Ted, If the tool you are looking for is for the DG auto tranny used from 1950 to 1955 contact me privately. I may be able to help out.

There is a converter alignment tool for the Flightomatics but I'm sure most people do not use one. I don't know if this is any better than any other way when not using the tool but I put the six bolts in but not tight, then turn the engine over and gradually tighten them thinking this might help center it.

But I also tend to install them as an assembly. Never had any problem in seating the converter/pilot etc. And I've done most of 'em alone...
