E40D Converter Screw Up, Help!
Got my E40D trans back on the Bronco but I dont think I installed the torque converter right. What do I do know?
How much will a shop charge to fix?
Should I even start the motor?
I think I'm screwd!

DO NOT START THE ENGINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If it isn't fully seated and you pulled the trans all the way to the engine you have damaged the end of the torque converter and probably yhe pump, too. Starting the engine will just do additional damage. You might have to replace the torque converter and pump, sometimes they can be repaired if the engine hasn't been run like this.

Can you turn the engine over using a wrench on the crank pulley? If it turns freely you have it assembled right. If it is bound up the next step is to take the trans out and see what's damaged.

Hand crank?
I will be back at it saturday. I need to clear my head and think this out.
First thing I am going to check is the lever that controls the park brake. Maybe it's not engaging so the trans is staying in park. I hope thats all?
Next I'm going to pull the transfercase and see if that truns free.
Last thing is to remove the trans!

I'm sorry! I was cleaning up and wanted to clean up under the truck. So since I havent started the motor or filled the trans with fluid I tried to roll it backwards. It would only roll about a foot! Why? I hope thats not a bad sign.

Even if the torque converter isn't seated and has the engine jammed solid the truck will still roll just fine. Your problem is not the torque converter. You've done something wrong with the linkage or have something wrong in the transfer case.

Transfercase OK
Split the transfercase and moved the forks around in and out of gear and still can not turn the shaft backwards. So I think the transfercase is ok.
So next thing to do is pull the trans one more time and tear it back down.
Could I have installed the "one way clutch assembly" in the "Intermediate Brake Drum" backwards? Is this possible?

I just watched the video. It's the one way clutch in backwards. The torque converter and pump have nothing to do with this problem. Either does the transfer case. It's the one way clutch installed backwards.
If you can spin the engine with that small ratchet either you are amazingly strong or you have the torque converter and pump installed correctly.
