Thanks boots...
you bring up another point that I didnt consider...is it better to mount the converter to the flywheel FIRST, or to the trans first?
Seems that itll be a ***** bolting the converter to the flywheel once IN the trans?!
Orange is right!
I didn't clarify when to bolt up the t.converter to the flywheel but that is AFTER the t.converter is installed in the tranny and the tranny is bolted to the engine. I've done it several times now so I assumed it made sense (obviously it didn't), hope it's clear as mud now.
