Budget Turbo Yukon XL 4L80 Conversion (Part 3): Sticking It In! Swap Tips + HD Transfer Case Hunt!

What happens here

Install the pre-filled torque converter onto the transmission's input shaft. The presenter emphasizes proper seating, which involves three distinct 'clicks' as the converter engages with different internal components (input shaft, stator support, and pump). He advises against forcing the converter and to gently wiggle and push until it fully seats, checking that a hand can fit between the converter and the transmission housing.

Goal: Securely install the torque converter onto the transmission

Tools and materials

  • Pre-filled Torque Converter ProTorque — The component being installed
