Working on an E4 od transmission in a 1993 f250 4x4. The transmission has had a bad leaking front seal. Upon inspecting the torque converter the shaft felt smooth but it does have a recessed ring around it close to where the seal should ride in my opinion dont know that for sure though. My question is because it has been too long since I have even seen that side of a torque converter is that recess normal or do I need to replace the torque coverter. No I dont have any measurements yet. And if all you have are slams about how this transmission is junk to begin with please dont reply. All help is appreaciated

 

Pretty sure a seal never rides on any depression only on a flat surface. Sometimes a kit is available to press a repair sleeve on a hub and a matching seal is used to solve the problem. In this case torque conv replacement most likely required.

 

thank you for the rassurance you just gave me. Now time to spend more money than planned aint that the way it always goes though.

 

YES, and we always give the credit for that to Murphy with , "Murphy's Law" !
