LOGIE Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 ok so I put the engine and autobox together and put them in the car a few weeks ago, today I went to put the bolts through the flexi into the torque converter so I was turning the crank to get the holes to marry up but the torque converter kept turning also... then suddenly with a jolt something gave way. After this everything went together easily and without problem. I cant start the car until my engine bay loom arrives. Has anyone else had this happen to them? Should I expect to take the autobox off again? Bollocks:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOGIE Posted November 3, 2013 Author Share Posted November 3, 2013 I pushed it fully back 2 prominent clicks. The face of the TC was deeper than the bellhousing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTurtleshead Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 It's probably fine. DaveP's made the 'twangy' noise when we were lining the TC up. It was correctly fitted to the box by lining it up with the oil pump. The flex plate is thin, it's the blocky parts on the back of the torque convertor catching on the holes in the flex plate. Chill homie! So long as you were careful lining the TC up on the box, which it sounds like you were, it will be fine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Did you look into the auto box to see roughly where the 2 tangs were that line up with the converter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOGIE Posted November 3, 2013 Author Share Posted November 3, 2013 Im slightly more relieved. So im not a total fuckwit? I did read the tsrm. But this noise had/has me worried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOGIE Posted November 3, 2013 Author Share Posted November 3, 2013 Yeah, what do you mean by roughly? Is there an exact science to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 The converter has to locate in the pump housing or you will put loads of pressure on the pump as you wind the box onto the engine, sounds like you got this part right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
