no you cannot damage the trans before the torque converter is full , the hydraulic system is to fill and pressurize the torque converter , it is a regulated pressure and normal hydraulic pressure is available to the valve body as long as there is adequate fluid in the sump for the pump , filling the torque converter prior to installing it is a waste of time and creates a mess to clean up , on any E4OD or 4R100 or 5R110 you can install 10 quarts in the pan before starting the engine then add an additional 4 quarts after starting the engine and then check teh level
