Torque Converter Locator Bushing Replacement (5.3L Engine w/RPO HP2)

Tools Required

  1. J 8433-1 Puller Bar
  2. J 45849 Pilot Bushing Remover
  3. J 45949 Pilot Bearing and Flywheel Locator Installer

Scheme 480

Scheme 480: Removal Procedure
  1. Remove the starter/generator rotor. Refer to «Starter/Generator Rotor Replacement (5.3L Engine w/RPO HP2)»(ref-184144-S22995576042005082200000) .
  2. Install the J 45849 (1) into the locator bushing (2).
  3. Using 2 wrenches, rotate the inner shaft of J 45849 , in order to remove the bushing.
  4. Remove the locator bushing.

Scheme 481: Installation Procedure

Scheme 482

Scheme 482
  1. Position the bushing into the end of the crankshaft.
  2. Using J 8433-1 (1) and J 45949 (2) install the locator bushing (3) into the rear of the crankshaft.
  3. Inspect the locator bushing for proper installation. A properly installed bushing should protrude no more than 8.4 mm (0.33 in) (a) from the rear of the crankshaft.
  4. Install the starter/generator rotor. Refer to «Starter/Generator Rotor Replacement (5.3L Engine w/RPO HP2)»(ref-184144-S22995576042005082200000) .

Torque Converter Clutch Pulse Width Modulation Solenoid Valve

The torque converter clutch pulse width modulation solenoid valve controls the fluid acting on the converter clutch valve. The converter clutch valve controls the torque converter clutch (TCC) apply and release. This solenoid is attached to the control valve body assembly within the transmission. The TCC PWM solenoid valve provides a smooth engagement of the torque converter clutch by operating during a duty cycle percent of ON time.

Scheme 483: Torque Converter Clutch Pulse Width Modulation Solenoid Valve

Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid Valve

The torque converter clutch (TCC) solenoid valve is a normally-open exhaust valve that is used to control torque converter clutch apply and release. When grounded (energized) by the powertrain control module (PCM), the TCC solenoid valve stops converter signal oil from exhausting. This causes converter signal oil pressure to increase and move the TCC solenoid valve into the apply position.
