Help me out a little here. Will the engine not start? Does it not even turn at the crank by hand? If it is turning at the crank by hand when the tranny is not attatched, then you have a bind in the trans bolt up. Is the torque converter fully seated in the trans?

yeah it won't crank by hand everyone i talk to says the torque convertor isn't lined up so i guess that must be the problem.
