Converter stuck in cranksaft!

myasylum said

yea, like I say, its so tight I can't even push up the converter to meet up with the flexplate.

I've had to put that coverter back in place three times now. I hope concerning I've never done this before i'm not wrecking anything like the pump in the tranny or the seal. I get nervous.

You won't be doing any damage to the tranny unless you try to force the converter in without the "dogs" being lined up and thats not your problem but the stub does need enough clearance to slide in and out easily so that it can be pulled to the flexplate. Like wild&crazy said, once the tranny is bolted in the converter should be able to rotate by hand. Kev
