Stator to Impeller Interference Check

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 16 other vehicles, including the 1985 Mercury Topaz, 1985 Mercury Marquis, 1985 Mercury Lynx, 1985 Mercury Grand Marquis, and 1985 Mercury Cougar. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Position front pump with splined end of stator shaft pointing up. Mount converter on pump so splines of one-way clutch inner race engage splines of stator support, and converter hub engages pump drive gear.
  2. While holding pump stationary, rotate converter counterclockwise. Converter should rotate freely without interference. If this condition exists, replace torque converter.
