Check and ,ake sure the converter is seated in the pump properly. There should be 3 sets of splines to line up.

The mating surface of the torque converter should be recessed from the mating surface of the bell housing but roughly 1" (usually slightly less). If its not there now, then the TC is not seated in all the way. It must be fully installed before any attempt to bolt the transmission to the engine.

And I also second the 3 steps.

Whatever you do, don't use the bolt torque to pull the transmission to the engine.
