Common calls to Tech Support:
• Excess TCC slip or 740 code• TCC RPM surge or cycle • Engine stall on engagement Fwd. or Revs.• Noise, hydraulic moan or buzz

Experience has shown… • Cooler flow can be too high!
0ver 4.0 GPM may cause an over-heat as rapid flow reduces heat dissipation.
• Cooler flow can be insufficient!Minimum of 2.7 GPM applied, 46RE Minimum of 3.2 GPM applied, 47RE
• Restricted radiators can cause slip/shudder.

Excess cooler/head pressure can create TCC slip.
Head pressure can be reduced with bypass valves

Experience has proven…• Increasing line pressure often increases:
Release Pressure - Noise - TCC slippage.• As radiator restrictions increase, reaction of
TCC apply and exhaust of release slow down.
• Converter restrictions or leakage create; TCC slip, stall on engagement, low cooler flow and converter overheat.

Engine Stall on EngagementCommon Cause: (Gas or Diesel)
• Cooler restriction• Converter restriction• Pump wear or volume issue• Flex plate stand-off

Welcome to Part Two
Ed LeeSonnax Technical Specialist
Converter Flow and Assembly Issues

THINK FLOW740 Codes
A Converter is a Converter is a Converter…
![Page 19: TCRA-2005 BobEd 2](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022023/62112f44606eb90a703dbc0e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

THE PROBLEM:
• One of the most common tech calls is on the 740 codes on the rear wheel drive Chryslers
• 740 codes are torque converter slip codes
![Page 20: TCRA-2005 BobEd 2](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022023/62112f44606eb90a703dbc0e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
20
The Common Fix:
• Usually the technician addresses the fluid, the hydraulic integrity, proper cooler flow, and the proper friction material
• When all of these solutions have been exhausted and the problem still exists…you need to take a closer look…
![Page 21: TCRA-2005 BobEd 2](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022023/62112f44606eb90a703dbc0e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
A CLOSER LOOK…
• Had a vehicle with 740 code• Bob sent me the converter• We found that the clutch surfaces were not
machined properly, and a few other minor things…BUT not enough to cause the code
• So, finally we took a CLOSER LOOK at the FLOW within the converter
![Page 22: TCRA-2005 BobEd 2](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022023/62112f44606eb90a703dbc0e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
THE TEST…
• Did three (3) different tests on seven (7) different torque converters– All converters were identical on the outside– All converters were 90 degree 518 transmission torque
converters (DACCO 785)– All converters had OE turbine hub bushings– All converters had new high carbon clutch linings– All converters had red damper springs– All converters had .025 clutch release clearance
![Page 23: TCRA-2005 BobEd 2](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022023/62112f44606eb90a703dbc0e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
THE TEST…
• The DIFFERENCE in the seven (7) torque converters was …the turbine hub and thrust washer/bearing to cover combinations.
• Let’s take a look at the 7 converters…

32
The Process… first trial
• Sent the first six converters to Certified Transmissions in Omaha, Nebraska
• Certified did a data acquisition dyno test• Test results were similar to some of the Pin
Point test data found during the second trial
![Page 33: TCRA-2005 BobEd 2](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022023/62112f44606eb90a703dbc0e/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
33
The Process…second trial• These six converters were then sent to Bob
Warnke in Wisconsin to test and monitor isolated circuits:– He tapped the release pressure between the pressure
regulator valve and the converter– He tapped the apply pressure between the TCC switch
valve and the converter– Cooler flow was checked through all ranges with the
Sonnaflow, TCC on-off– Cooler restriction was varied from free flow to 50% of
release pressure– Sump pressure was monitored
![Page 34: TCRA-2005 BobEd 2](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022023/62112f44606eb90a703dbc0e/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
34
The Process…another converter
• Bob added a seventh converter from a local transmission shop…he received this because of repeat engine stalls on engagements…and since it had flow problems, Bob decided to add it to the process
![Page 35: TCRA-2005 BobEd 2](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022023/62112f44606eb90a703dbc0e/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
35
Bob’s Observations…for all 7• The most critical issues are:
– Flow when not in lockup and release pressure– Release pressure over 100 lbs has negative affect on
OE hydraulics. Increasing line pressure and higher pressure in reverse reacts on switch and regulator valves
– Low release oil flow increases converter heat, raises stall RPM and contributes to delayed engagements
– Excess cooler restriction increases converter and hydraulic noise
– Lower converter oil flow increases the pump pressurization upon shutdown
![Page 36: TCRA-2005 BobEd 2](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022023/62112f44606eb90a703dbc0e/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
36
Bob’s Results…on all 7
• Converters– #5 and #1 were tied for highest overall averaged flow– #6 had the lowest, with #2 close to it with the lowest overall flow– #2 had the highest release pressure overall– #5 had the lowest release pressure overall– #3 had almost no sump pressure or re-pressurization– #6 had the highest sump and re-pressurizationAs radiator head pressure increases (more restriction in the cooler)
cooler flow decreases and release pressure increases proportionately.
![Page 37: TCRA-2005 BobEd 2](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022023/62112f44606eb90a703dbc0e/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
37
The Process…third trial
• Ed Lee flow tested the individual converters.
• A modified compressor with ATF and a large air reserve is used to provide controlled pressure and flow over a measured time period
• Fluid flow is collected and measured
![Page 38: TCRA-2005 BobEd 2](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022023/62112f44606eb90a703dbc0e/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
38
The Results…• Converter (hub / thrust) GPM @ 40 PSI• Number 1 OE / Fiber 6.843• Number 2 OE / OE Bearing 3.656• Number 3 Aftermarket / Fiber 6.280• Number 4 Aftermarket / OE Bearing 3.000• Number 5 2nd Aftermarket
/ Brass Washer 8.438• Number 6 #1 with hub bushing
installed too deep 1.875• Number 7 OE / Phenolic Washer 7.969• Number 7* With washer upside down 3.469

39
THE END RESULT…
• ANYTHING LESS THAN 3 gallons per minute through the individual components, puts you in jeopardy of a 740 code
