That depends on the situation. If your driveline is apart, you can pour fluid directly into the torque converter before you install it. If you have just changed filter & fluid: Unless you had it pumped out, there is still fluid in the torque converter. If you had it pumped out, fluid will automatically fill the torque converter after you have reassembled the pan & filter & added fluid. Start by adding the recommended amount of fluid for a filter change, start the vehicle, put it in neutral for a minute or two, then check fluid level according to manufacturer procedure. It probably will not show on the dipstick, if that is the case add 2 more quarts, & repeat the run & check process. Find out what the "Total" capacity is, & as you get close to that number, begin to,(With the brake on), slowly shift through all the gears before your next level check. When you get within a pint to a quart low go for a very short drive & use forward & reverse, park on level ground & do a final dipstick check. Add whatever the dipstick indicates. Check it regularly over the next few days, as you may have air bubbles coming out, which may cause you to have a low fluid situation.

How do you take torque converter off of engine so you can mount the motor on a stand?
The Torque Converter is part of the transmission, not part of the engine. The torque converter needs to come off with the transmission. You need to remove the starter to access the torque converter bolts/nuts and separate it from the flex plate. Besides loosing all of the fluid in the torque converter, you stand to damage converter seals and/or the pump if the converter isn't properly installed in the transmission.

Why does car lose acceleration uphill?
Automatic transmissions lose acceleration driving uphill because of the torque converter. The engine turns one side of the torque converter and the other side is splined into the input set of the planetary gears. The torque converter uses fluid to turn the input shaft in the transmission. When the transmission is locked into gear and going uphill the torque converter has to work against power losses from the tires on the road and when the engine is working harder the torque converter cuts or "shears" the fluid and it causes the transmission to overheat. Always make sure you have enough fluid in the transmission
