89_trailboss Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 manual says to mount the torque convertor to the oil pump then mount the trans to the motor. then bolt the torque convertor to the fly wheel. well, I did that. and have been fighting for hours with it. has anyone tried to mount the convertor to the fly, then slide the trans over the splines? help ASAP. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 I'm prolly going to do it that way too, the damn TC bolts are too damn hard to get to, to begin with. Whatever works! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey.T Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 TC to the fly is only 4 bolts accessed through the Starter hole, there is also a little cover that you have to install after you put in the 4 bolts... Once you have the TC in, set it so that 1 of the 4 holes is accessable through the starter hole... Spin the flywheel via the crank to get the 1st one to line up... insert 1 of 4, then keep rotating the crank to get the other 3 in.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89_trailboss Posted September 14, 2006 Author Share Posted September 14, 2006 ya, got the TC on. then a though occured. the TC, its filled with ATF. does it get filled via the trans, or do I have to fill it? theres fluid in there, just not sure how much.

cdhicks99 Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 DO NOT BOLT THE TC TO THE ENGINE FIRST! You are highly likely to jam up the splines, it must be twisted while it locks in. Here's the tip: The starter goes into a bracket that is bolted to the block with 2 14mm bolts. Once that bracket is removed it makes life so easy.

89_trailboss Posted September 15, 2006 Author Share Posted September 15, 2006 TC slid out a bit yesterday. thats why it wouldnt go on. MAKE sure that your TC is in the full 1". I slid the TC into the trans and everything went pretty smothly. BUT, the TC was too far back, so the bollts for fly-TC were to short. no worries, found 2 bolts just a hair longer and put them on eather side of the fly. that sucked the TC to the fly and the original bolt fit fine. PUT THE TC IN THE TRANS FIRST!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89_trailboss Posted September 15, 2006 Author Share Posted September 15, 2006 oh, so I was dinkin around with the old trans, slid the TC out for the 1000'th time, and the input shaft of the trans slide out with it. Im guessing that shouldnt happen, should it? if not, any clue on what went wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
