-- Insert the transmission without pinching any lines.
Engine and transmission must be brought together by hand until both flanges contact all around!
If this is not the case, adjust the : 3282 until the engine and transmission align.
While the transmission is guided onto the engine, carefully turn the engine further! Hold the starter ring gear steady from the outside with a screwdriver. When installing torque converter threaded pins are located in the drive plate holes.
