  WARNING
If the torque converter is incorrectly fitted, when the gearbox is braced to the engine the drive element of the converter or the ATF pump will be damaged.
Afterwards, when fitting the gearbox, careful attention must be paid to the following point.
  WARNING
Before and during the tightening of the gearbox/engine flange bolts, repeatedly ensure that the torque converter may be rotated behind the drive plate. If the torque converter may not be rotated, it must be assumed that it is not correctly fitted and that to fully tighten the bolted joints will lead to the destruction of the torque converter drive element or of the ATF pump.
