How do you tighten the bolts on torque converter a 96 grand Cherokee?

You don't tighten the bolts on a torque converter directly to adjust its fit. The torque converter bolts are tightened to a specific torque specification *during installation* only. They aren't something you adjust after the fact. If you're experiencing issues with your torque converter, the problem lies elsewhere.

Trying to adjust torque converter bolts after installation is extremely dangerous and can result in serious damage to your transmission and potentially injury. The torque converter is a precision component in a complex system, and incorrect torque can cause it to fail or damage the transmission.

If you're having problems with your 1996 Grand Cherokee's transmission (like slipping, shuddering, or noise), it's likely one of the following issues, and none of them involve adjusting torque converter bolts:

* Low transmission fluid: Check and add the correct type and amount of transmission fluid.

* Failing transmission: This is a serious problem and usually requires professional repair or replacement.

* Problems with the transmission valve body: This internal component can malfunction and require professional repair.

* Solenoid issues: Similar to the valve body, solenoids control the transmission's functions and can fail.

* Torque converter failure: A failing torque converter will need to be replaced, not adjusted.

In short: If you are experiencing transmission problems, take your 1996 Grand Cherokee to a qualified mechanic or transmission specialist for diagnosis and repair. Do not attempt to adjust the torque converter bolts yourself.
