How do you tighten torque converter bolts on a Chevy 305 transmission?

To tighten the torque converter bolts on a Chevy 305 transmission, you will need the following tools and materials:

- A ratchet

- A socket wrench with a 15/16-inch socket

- A torque wrench

- A pan to catch any transmission fluid that may leak

- A new transmission filter

- A funnel

- Transmission fluid

Instructions:

1. Start by draining the transmission fluid. To do this, locate the transmission fluid drain plug on the bottom of the transmission pan and remove it using a 15/16-inch box wrench. Allow all of the transmission fluid to drain into the pan.

2. Once the transmission fluid has been drained, remove the transmission pan bolts using a ratchet and a 15/16-inch socket.

3. Carefully remove the transmission pan and set it aside.

4. Locate the torque converter bolts, which are located around the edge of the torque converter.

5. Tighten the torque converter bolts in a star pattern, tightening each bolt a little bit at a time until they are snug. Do not overtighten the bolts, as this can damage the threads.

6. Replace the transmission filter, if necessary, and reinstall the transmission pan.

7. Refill the transmission with transmission fluid using a funnel.

8. Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes. Check for any leaks.

9. If there are no leaks, you have successfully tightened the torque converter bolts on your Chevy 305 transmission.

Note: It is important to ensure that the torque converter bolts are tightened to the proper specification. The torque specification for Chevy 305 transmission torque converter bolts is 12-15 foot-pounds.
