F3A/KF100
No Movement After Rebuild
Torque Converter Pads
The torque converters used with the F3A/KF100 transaxles are available with two different pad heights. The two
pads have a 3 mm (.120") difference in height. If you use a torque converter with the shorter pads, it reduces the
amount of spline contact, on the pump drive shaft.

If you have an F3A/KF100 that won't move, check the line pressure. Normal line pressure is 43-57 psi.

If there is no line pressure, remove the pump and pump drive shaft. Put the pump drive shaft back into the
transaxle, but just enough to contact the splines in the torque converter. The pump drive shaft shouldn't turn. If it
does, the splines in the torque converter are stripped. Remove the transaxle and check the torque converter
mounting pads. They may be the wrong height.

The long mounting pad has a grove on it.
