  • Patent number: 5018414
    Abstract: The torque converter repair tool of this disclosure includes a small plate that can be mounted on the torque converter housing with the starter motor removed. A positioning hole in the plate engages over a locator stud, which is normally used to position the starter motor, and another hole slideably receives a hand screw that threads into a tapped hole in the housing to secure the tool temporarily in place. A shaft is rotatable in the plate, and, when in place, a pinion on the inboard portion of the shaft engages the ring gear of the torque converter. The outboard end of the shaft may be engaged by a socket wrench for hand rotation of the shaft and, with it, the flywheel.
