Abstract
A testing mechanism for detecting fluid leaks in a torque converter utilizing a seal which closes a passage through the torque converter hub to the interior of the housing of the torque converter. Fluid is then charged into the torque converter and maintained at a certain pressure. The torque converter is then immersed in a liquid found in a container to permit the observation of the escape of fluid from the torque converter.
