Trying to find part numbers to order. On the fluid pump on this AW4, I am changing input seal, bushing (back side to the main shaft), and the large diameter O ring. Likely ordering on rockauto if I can be sure I am on correct items. I find their SKF seal just fine.
Technical Q, since I have seen other dialogue on the common problem of blown fluid out the pump seal. My torque converter has a smooth feel to the seal area, not a obvious wear spot. Should I be considering a repair sleeve anyway?
I did not have a trans cooler added, when the over heat occured. I was towing a boat that is light but very high windage at 10 foot height by the 8.5 width. It normally takes a big V8 or diesel to pull and keep speed up. I had to make do on that day due to a repair problem on the primary truck.
No failure of any part of the trans, just very cooked fluid. I haven't felt very confident on keeping the torque converter, despite it looking in good shape. Miles are somewhere around 150,000. This one just sees street use. Throw out the torque converter since so many over heat with this AW4?
