I can't " just slide it back" now. the floor jack under the trans is
pretty far forward and I can't get the trans to slide forward on the
block of wood that is on the jack. (or the jack to roll back without
taking the trans with it. If I mess with it much, the trans will fall
backwards. (CG is almost off the jack) I don't want to start over.
I think turning the trans shaft or engine is the key

in the past, when I did it the "wrong" way, everything slid together slick as snot. The "right" way is causing the problems.TC
was in the trans. TC was seated in the trans before I carried it to the car. In fact the tc has not been out of the trans since I picked up the
trans a couple years ago. I suppose the TC could have slid forward while I was pulling the trans under the car, but I don't think so. If the tc
slid forward and the ears or splines are not aligned with the trans, that would keep it from sliding forward.I could try putting the trans in some
gear and try turning the output shaft to see if that frees up anything holding up the trans from seating.After the rain, I am gonna try to get the fan
off so I can get the shroud off so I can get a socket on the crank to turn the engine over. FIggered I'd have to do that anyway to bolt the tr to the
flex plate, unless I got real lucky, and things lined up. As it stands now, I can't turn the tc or the engine. If I could get the trans seated,
then I could turn the flywheel.Peter Frederick via Mercedes wrote on 9/21/19 2:52 PM:> 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.comTo search list archives
