Can anyone tell me what the secret to getting the torque converter back into the automatic transmission is? It was in place when I got the transmission, but it fell out while we were moving it around.
There are 2 sets of splines that have to be matched up and a square, like a 'double D' connector, clear in the back. I'm guessing that the splines opperate gears and the double D operates something like a pump. I can feel each of the splines mesh, one after the other, but it is still ~1" from going in. I believe that it is the 'douple D' that is not meshing. I can reach in with a small, flat screwdriver and easily turn the connector in the transmission.
We marked the position of the connector on the transmission and on the torque converter so that we can know if it's aligned, but that doesn't seem to be enough.
We went to the pull-out transmission and were able to take it out and put it back this way, twice.
