Don't try to get the torque converter into the transmission when bolted to the flywheel, you will surely break the front pump. Been there, done that, even with the proper methods.
Take the TC back off and install it properly in the transmission, sliding it all the way back. This will be half an inch or so further than it sits when bolted up. Install tranny, making sure that the TC stays free of the flywheel, the pry it forward and bolt it up. If you pull the housing bolts up tight without the drive lugs on the TC properly seated, you fracture the drive ring on the front pump and the transmission has no fluid pressure at all. My brother managed to break his in the SDL, cost him another couple hundred bucks for the transmission shop to replace it. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
