Txakura Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I have noticed that there are 'torque converter repair sleeves' as well as the 'input shaft repair sleeves'? How would someone install one of those? I can see sleeving something if you are able to machine it first. But there is no real info on the parts, just that they exist.

presslab Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Yeah I assume these sleeves are really thin sheet metal (like the Speedi-Sleeve), meant to restore the sealing surface when it's worn or damaged. They just press over the original surface with a bit of bearing retainer adhesive. They're thin enough that the seal still works fine (maybe a bit tighter). I can understand the torque converter, because it has a large seal in the front diff housing. But the input shaft I'm not so sure, it just has a static o-ring. The input shaft does have a couple wear surfaces against some bronze bushings, but if this were worn out the bushings would wear faster and be the replacement item.
