does anyone have the gm part numbers for needed seals and gaskets when swapping converters??

 

You won't need seals and gaskets when swaping out a converter,just get the tranny fluid needed for the swap and get a tranny cooler to add more life to your transmission down the road.

 

nope no seals to get.....

and don't skip the cooler you will be glad you took the extra time to put one in!!

 

In another thread there's been recommendation
that you replace an O-ring on the input shaft:

hey Jimmyblue, This O-ring is not in the T/C. Its on the end of the input shaft. What I see more often is the wrong o-ring being installed, and will not fit the t/c, thus cutting the o-ring. Very rare are the instances of a cut o-ring with the proper o-ring installed. What I find more times than not is the guys running the old hard shrunk O-ring, it's extremly important to replace this o-ring every time you pull the converter.They get hard and brittle with normal use,I use only dealer o-rings, this o-ring is critical to proper converter lock up. Footnote: I've installed about 100 tci converters and have never had a problem, I can not say the same for some others out there. I hope this helps.

Thanks for the good info. Are there any other
parts that should be replaced during a
converter swap, that I should make sure to have?

Wouldn't have that O-ring GM P/N handy,
would you?
