Phil P said:We had the gearbox in and out three times to sort the shift linkage. The torque converter fouled the bell housing something we only found when the engine was fired up. There was a cooling ring on the back of the torque converter that rubbed on a web inside the bell housing. DON'T ask!!

I may be wrong but don't you have to align the torque convertor to engage the pump drive?
