Improper alignment of ATF
pump and torque converter
housing may cause ATF pump
seizure. The symptoms are
mostly an rpm-related ticking
noise or a high pitched squeak.
Check the line pressure.
Be careful not to damage the
torque converter housing when
replacing the main ball bearing.
You may also damage the ATF
pump when you torque down
the main valve body. This will
result in ATF pump seizure if
not detected. Use the proper
tools.
Install the main seal flush with
the torque converter housing. If
you push it into the torque
converter housing until it
bottoms out, it will block the
fluid return passage and result
in damage.
Check the ATF strainer for
debris. If the ATF strainer is
clogged with particles of steel
or aluminum, inspect the ATF
pump. If the ATF pump is OK,
find the damaged components
that caused the debris. If no
cause for contamination is
found, replace the torque
converter.
Inspect the differential pinion
gears for wear. If the
differential pinion gears are
worn, replace the differential
assembly, replace the ATF
strainer, thoroughly clean the
transmission, and clean the
torque converter, cooler, and
lines.
