Transmission, torque converter, updated starter questions

so far so good as far as advice goes
dbl check that the tc is in all the way and block with a wire or something so it can't sneak out of place many pumps get ruined that way
ask me how I know
cover can go on anytime- even after checking for leaks :)
Use ATF 4+ it's good stuff
do you have lock up
part throttle kick down (can be added later)
transgo reprogramming kit?
any A 999 parts? think for next time find a core during your spare time or a A500 or 518 92-95
