Ive been at it all day nd it doesn't wanna go in into the final notch. Its about 1/2in to 3/4in still to high. What could be my problem?
torque converter not sliding into tranny

Originally the reason why I pulled out the trans was due to a broken adapter housing. Idk if that's helps or not.
If the front part of the Alli was not disturbed; stand the trans on its ass and use 2 of the bell housing bolts screwed into the converter 180 deg off and carefully lift and spin the converter till it seats.
Alright, get a sledge hammer, ah wait on second thought, could something have gotten damaged inside after the adapter plate broke?
No the only other thing I changed was the output shaft nd when I pulled the trans out nothing else seemed broke.
They can be a pain in the a$$. Follow mikes advice, with a little persistence it should fall into place.
Just out of curiosity; can you spin your input shaft? If you did something wrong in the back end and bound up the gear train to where the input shaft is locked; the converter might not want to slip all the way down.
The turbine, stator, and hub on the converter must line up with the input shaft, stator support, and pump. If the input shaft won't turn, the converter will not settle all the way down.

x2 on making sure everything turns.
I always put the converters on when I have the trans on the jack ready to go in. I take two 4" long bolts and thread them into the converter, I use them to hold hold it and wiggle it into place. If it doesn't drop in right away I start slowly turning it and pushing on the topside of the converter while lifting the bottom some too, just keep going around and wiggling and eventually it goes. i like to look at where the pump is positioned at first as well, then try to put the converter in close to that position.

Well not THAT easy,ive faut those t/c's getting them to go in all the way before.Most of the time I get it all the way coupled within 20 mins at most.Correct me if I'm wrong, but IIRC I put the TC in the trans, then put the engine in.
Only the output shaft locks in park as the parking pawl is all the way in the rear. The rest of the gear train. Input shaft stopping at the output shaft must be free.
As mike said the park simply holds the output as its job is to just essentially hold the driveshaft so the wheels can't move. The input should still turn, however be aware that you are rotating a lot of mass and its not just going to turn with an 8 year olds strength. put on a glove and twist that thing. As noted though, do not use harsh tools. You should be able to turn it by hand with a glove on or at least your wife or a buddy can if nothing else.:thumb:
