Hey all, last night I was assembling my rebuilt TH400 with new Torque Converter to the engine and in my first attempt I did not have the torque converter seated completely in the front of the transmission. I didn't realize this until I had attached the transmission bell housing to the back of the engine and couldn't get anything to rotate. Knowing that wasn't correct, I quickly removed the mounting bolts and transmission and discovered that the torque converter could move in just a little further into transmission by turning rear transmission and getting some splines to align.
My question is did I mess anything up by installing things wrong the first time? I know that I had the pump tabs and torque converter slots aligned correctly, and I didn't turn anything in the torque converter/trans because it was too tight for movement, so hopefully what extra pressure was applied didn't mess up torque converter internals. Thanks.
