I am having a hard time getting this last TC Bolt in. The bolt looks great. I am assuming the first part of the thread might be slightly stripped. I cant see the threads. Does anybody have any suggestions on how I can get this bolt back in.

Are the threads lining up ? do you have all the other bolts loose ? a lot of time if you don't start all the bolts ( leaving them loose still ) the last one or a few will not line up right .
I always start all the bolts and just get them barely hand tight before I start tightening them up
Thanks for the reply guys! I have all the other bolts tighten. I will loosen them all up, and give it another shot. I just have a hard time believing the threads are stripped in the TC.
As all of the other guys stated, get them all started, then tighten them and you should be good to go:thumb:
Converter should be pulled forward by sticking a screw driver behind it and pushed toward flex plate. Drawing it forward with the bolts can cock it. You can hurt the flex plate doing the wrong way. I also would not use locktite. The proper converter bolts will have a red teflon sealer already on the bolts. Using locktite will pull the threads out of the billet cover if the trans has to come back out in the future.

This has been the norm since automatics were invented. You're just covering your ass cause you never did it. I've seen your work.
Thanks for all the help. I got all the TC Bolts in this morning. :happy2: I loosen all the bolts up, and the last one went in easy. I used a screw driver to move the TC forward. Worked great!
