Transmission, Torque converter problem

[itratis]

You find this a TON in computer forums too, and it's always an obscure problem that you spent hours searching how to fix.

I did spent about 1 hour trying to find some directions on google, then I spent about 1 hour fighting with the engine and the transmission here is what I did.


1. I did put a jack on the transmission and Engine

2. Remove the starter

3. unscrew all bolt around the transmission bell housing and the 3 bolts from the converter to flywheel.

4. Unscrew the bottom and top transmission supports

5.Get a pry bar to separate the transmission from the engine as much a you can, stick a 2x4 block to prevent the transmission from returning to its original position

6. Turn the torque converter as fast as you can, I did try doing it slowly to listen to the 3 click that many websites mention but could not heard anything and I couldn't push it in. When I started turning it as fast as I could (about 40 rotations) it didn't click but it got to the right position and depth, a little bit more than one inch.

7. Assemble everything and you are done.
