Usually with bolts.
It is easier to do if you install the torque convertor to the transmission and then attempt to bolt it to the flywheel. You will have to turn the convertor or flywheel to line up the bolt holes.
Are we talking about excessive crankshaft endplay or a damaged flywheel? If its crankshaft endplay, replace the thrust bearings (and torque converter if automatic transmission). If it's the flywheel, replace the flywheel.
Bad torque converter?
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.
if the bolts line up but u'll have to replace flywheel or the torque converter, check spacing of bolts
Yes it will fit. bellhousing will fit but the torque converter will not bolt up to flex plate (flywheel) not to mention the trans cant handle the increased amount of torque with big block
Well, first of all the torque converter has two slots that will need to line up exactly with input shaft. However, the inner splines that are connected to the torque converter should be lined up with the splines of the torque converter of the input shaft.
Put tranny up then install the torque converter to tranny first , NOTE : Make sure when installing the torque converter to the tranny that you can only slide your middle finger in bettween the tranny and torque converter , if the torque converter is not all the way in, the torque converter will tare up the tranny shaft.
Pull the inspection plate off, reach in with an end wrench and tighten them up. Use a screwdriver on the flywheel teeth to turn it so you can get to all of them. If the holes have become elongated, you will need to replace the flex plate.(Flywheel)
Only thing that can cause problems is making sure the torque converter is all the way in. It should engage on the shaft 3 times, sometimes the last one is a little difficult. The converter should almost be rubbing the bell housing. Some require the flywheel to be in one place. The flywheel to torque converter bolts will only line up in one position. Not all, some it doesn't make a difference. Everything else is just nuts and bolts.
No it will not. Because it is a lock-up converter and the 350 turbo is not set up for a lock-up converter.
yup it should bolt right up
