I assume you have the transmission out of the car. It has to be out to replace the torque converter. The old torque converter will just pull off, but you may have to spin it back and forth a couple of times. When you install the new one, slide it on the shaft and spin it back and forth while pushing it towards the transmission and it will slide back towards the transmission. You have to do this again, because it has two sets of gears that it has to engage. If it doesn,t slide back twice, you will never get the transmission to slide up to the motor correctly. You may get bolts in it, but you will break something trying to tighten the bolts. If the transmission does not slide up to the motor without a lot of force, you do not have the torque converter on all the way. If it does, you should be able to bolt the transmission to the engine fairly easily. Once the transmission is bolted up correctly, you can turn the flywheel to line up the three bolts that hold the torque converter to the flywheel. Make sure you torque the flywheel to converter bolts to the specified torque settings, and they will vary according to the specific transmission, usually around 45 FT LBS.
