Description
40TE, 40TES, 41AE, 41TE, 41TES, 42LE, 42RE, 42RH, 42RLE, 62TE, A670, A904 Pump Bushing Sonnax Number 12502-01. (bag of five)
Symptoms:
- Pump seal leakage
- Pump noise
- Loss of prime
- Low pump volume
- Low cooler flow
- TCC codes
- Switch codes
Cause:
Pump body bores vary in diameter. Standard replacement bushings often result in excessive hub-to-bushing clearance.
Correction:
This improved fit replacement bushing restores proper hub-to-bushing clearance.
Excessive torque converter hub-to-pump bushing clearance in listed Chrysler units is a root cause of code 38, TCC slip codes, front seal leakage, loss of prime code 35, and pump noise. The OE bushing is machined in place, allowing a wide tolerance on pump housing bore diameters. Bore diameters can vary by more than .003″. This wide tolerance is a problem when using standard replacement bushings. Standard replacement bushings will often have .008″ or more hub-to-bushing clearance with an average 10 times more oil loss than the Sonnax improved fit bushing 12502-01.
This bushing will restore the clearance necessary for proper operation. It should only be used when the housing diameter is greater than 1.6175″, which will be in most cases.
