Default Re: Converter "leak"

GM used to provide dealers with a pressure ck fixture. It went around the converter and held a plug in the snout so you could pressure test a converter. If I was pressure testing I would have something hold the plug in, like holding it with your hydraulic press or make a fixture. Many years back at a dealer I worked at they suspected a leaky converter. We didn't have the tool so 2 techs pressurize the converter with air just holding the plug, they did regulate it but it was full of fluid. We thought the converter exploded and cut them up. Instead what happened was they plug blew out and covered both of them in trans fluid.
