A torque converter, flex plate question, and install question..

I've never had a new converter come with oil, but if you fell better, dump it and put your oil. People say about one quart. I just fill it till it seems enough, then install on trans shaft. Spinning left and right as you install may help seat it. You must be sure it is seated all the way. Bolt the flex plate to the back of the engine first. Then lift the trans back up to mate it with the transmission and carefully position it. Use some kind of jack or bare strength, but be careful. Follow proper torque specs for the bolts on the flex plate and converter. Make sure you dont have too much clearance between the converter and flexplate. minimun 1/8" and max 3/16". Also, use some locktite on the bolts. Medium or high strength will be fine. Hope that makes sense. :burnout:
