Torque Convertor Install issues

try standing the transmission on its tail end and spinning the torque convertor. thats how ive always put them on, we just spin them until they make three drops and then its on all the way, its a trick my dad showed me.
I'll try that... but wont all the fluid that I put into the convertor drain into the tranny.

in the second pic, it doesn't look like it is square to teh tranny. may have to move it around a bit more.
are you sure its a 700r4 converter and not a th350c converter, they are very close in apperance , but the hub that fits into the pump is different.

I gave the guy the exact numbers of the convertor.. and thats what he handed me. It looks the same, I'll have to check the spines. Its a reman so I have no clue. We shall see

It could be it just needs to catch just right, but also be aware that the 700 used different input splines over the years. I believe the early 82-82 used a smaller input shaft than the later ones (going from memory so I could be wrong)
I told the guy the exact year of my truck, that it was a 700r4, and all the numbers and even handed him the old one. He said Yup your good to go. So I hope it just needs some more finese. But its snowing out today 
. It was almost 50 yesterday too. I hate Michigan weather

id make sure you have a 30 spline converter and not a 27 spline converter. you need to count the second set of splines in the converter. the 27 spline input shafts were on 82-early 84, then changed to 30 mid 84.
Its all the way on now. It just needed to take more time, and not get frustrated. I went there stood it up on the tailshaft and turned and lifted up a little and then click, click it dropped right in.

Yeah I just needed to lift up on it rather then rattle it. Standing it up on the tailshaft helped out soo much
