When I installed my torque converter, I set it on the input shaft of my C5 auto, and rotated it at least twice until it set in place. But when I moved the trans into position, it was just resting on the alignment dowels when I saw the bolts for the torque converter poke though the flywheel. This is when I tighened the converter to the flywheel, THEN I finished bolting the bellhousing to the back of the engine.
Now I'm spilling fluid after adding 5 quarts of trans fluid, the trans won't engage in any gear, the engine won't even change its idle. And the parking pawl isn't catching so, every position is still neutral.
Is my transmission bad, or did I screw up the installation of the torque converter? I only ran the engine a total of about 2 minutes by starting it a few times for like 30 seconds at a time.
Any ideas what to look for when I pull it apart this weekend?? Thanks guys.
