So I'm in the process of putting a trans in my 97 XJ and at first I had almost all the bolts In and then later that night a buddy asked me if I locked in the torque comvertor and I didn't know what he meant so long story short I had to drop the trans again and lock it in. Well now I can't get the 2 side bolts on the trans to go in I have one in but can't get the other in for my life. So i don't know what's wrong with it. Does anybody know what could possibly be then problem? Any help would be great thanks.

 

Can you get your "buddy" to come over and fix it.

 

I've been trying to get him to come over but he never has time he works 3 jobs and is a firefighter

 

If you have all the other bolts in, you might try loosening them a bit so the last ones will line up.. get them all started before you tighten them. Hope this helps.
