Significant Technical Input
You guys are all racing for the guiness record for least timely transmission install.

Don't rush the install/converter install when you actually do get around to it though; It's absolutely essential that all 3 splined sections of the converter assembly are engaged. Unfortunately one purchaser of one of these transmissions didn't get his converter installed correctly and now I'm still waiting for some pictures so I can try to guide him to determine the condition of things now and into a successful install.

Just a tip to help others avoid doing the same: Your converter should not be pressed up against the flex plate when you bolt the transmission up to the engine. There should be around 1/8 of an inch space between the converter and flex plate until you install the converter bolts which draw the converter up to the flex plate. If you don't have that space when you are bolting the trans up don't bolt it up; the converter is not propperly installed.
