allow the torque converter to become disengaged from the oil pump or to fall and injure yourself
or others.
The torque converter must be held to the torque converter housing by a retaining device such as
shipping brackets. Without the retaining device, the torque converter may slide forward,
disengaging the oil pump, or may fall completely out of the transmission causing personal injury
and/or property damage.
