Need some help! I am trying to get the torque converter slid onto the tranny so I can marry the engine to the tranny. Is there an easy way to get the slots for the pump lined up? Been trying to eyeball it but it wont slip all the way on. HELP!

There are 5 bolts to the torque convertor. You'll have a one in five shot at lining it up.. if you cant start all five, rotate the torque convertor around one hole and try again till you get the right pattern. The spacing is offset between two holes requiring this.

Thanks for the input Killabrew, but I already have the flex plate bolted to the crank. I am trying to get the torque converter slid onto the tranny and lined up. Its a real PITA....hope someone has a cool trick or tip to pass along to get this lined up.

Make sure the tranny is in park then spin the torque converter while pushing it on. You'll feel/hear three distinct clicks.
