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

What happens here

Pre-fill the new torque converter with transmission fluid. The presenter explains that torque converters hold a significant amount of fluid, so pre-filling them before installation prevents the need to continuously add fluid through the dipstick later. He then demonstrates unboxing the ProTorque converter, which he already pre-filled off-camera. He emphasizes rotating the converter to help fluid reach all internal fins.

Goal: Pre-fill the torque converter with fluid for easier installation

Tools and materials

  • ProTorque Torque Converter ProTorque — The new torque converter to be installed

because i kind of it had already been opened by the guys in the shop that wanted to see what it looked like and then i had a little bit of a camera derp out whenever i opened it again to pre-fill it with fluid so we kind of settle in there by the time we needed it so let's just pretend here that it's not it's oh wow look at this box it's not covered in oil from me being terrible at pouring fluid on things wow it's clean and it looks great pro torque converter it's already full of fluid i guess i was just thinking ahead but where are the instructions i don't know where are the instructions how about that you scan that thingy for the instructions to get them on your phone so you don't lose them see how this works is you open the camera app if you qr code hack if you see these dumb things and you don't know what they're for or how to use them you don't need an app to do it you just go into the camera point at it and just hold your thumb on there and it will say openprotorq.com so you just do that and wait for your bad phone service to open it yeah let's say view converter installation instructions right there and then it'll give you uh see which one you got so you don't have to lose your piece of paper and then go find out where to find the instructions after you lose them so when you put a converter in you always got to pour fluid in it because it holds a good bit of fluid itself you pre-fill it before you put it on the transmission so it doesn't you don't have to keep pouring it in through the dipstick as it pumps it in there you want to have it pre-filled and it takes a while for it to settle in there so you can like spin it get it to go out through the fins and all that stuff which i already did so we can get this thing taken out and you're ready to stop that thing in there let's do it how about you turn the camera off oh don't try this at home kids
