Well ive been trying to install my stock transmission onto a 89 350 tbi engine i bought for my 92 camaro rs. And the problem I am having is that it wont go together as easy as the stock to the stock motor did. Also when i do get it lined up i have to use a couple of bolts to pull it together and then the torque conv. wont spin freely like the stock one. And yes the torque conv. is in all the way. Im not sure but every mechinic I talk to says that it should bolt up with no problem but in this case its not. If anyone has any idea they would be appreciated.

 

Are you absolutely, positively sure the converter is in all the way?
It can be very tricky.

 

i agree...you turn and engauge the tq converter and stand above it look down at the whole tranny where it bolts to the motor and it should not extend outside the housing...it should sit about an inch and 1/4 inside...then when you raise it to put it in the car you might be knocking it out so tape it or somthing
