2001 Chevrolet Malibu Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the turbine shaft seal in the torque converter on 2001 Chevrolet Malibu?

  A: Start by cutting the power connection before you can replace the Torque Converter turbine shaft seal. Sometime after disconnecting the negative Battery Cable, you should remove the Transmission Assembly from the vehicle followed by the Torque Converter assembly from the transmission. A screwdriver will be used to detach the Torque Converter o-ring seal which is positioned at the turbine shaft endpoint. Position a new Torque Converter o-ring seal onto the turbine shaft's end prior to assembling the Torque Converter with the transmission followed by reinstalling the vehicle transmission. Reinstall the negative Battery Cable while also checking and adjusting the transmission fluid level.
