Do you happen to have the rest of the info that goes along with that? If you would have to type it, don't worry about it, but if it is online somewhere, that would be a big help.

That picture is a LIFE saver!!! Thanks so much guys. The clip appears to have moved. It looks like it is bent from me trying to push the converter on. When I hold the converter. all that I have is the converter and and the shaft that is actually physically part of the converter. Should the shaft/tube for the pump also be on there? be on the converter when I'm putting it in to the transmission? I know these are dumb questions, but I know I can do this with your help. I guess what I'm saying is that #8, #9, etc are all still inside the transmission. It sounds like I should get #8 and 9 out and attach them to the converter before putting it back in? Thanks so much guys. Seriously, I was at such a loss. I really appreciate the help.

Ok, so more on my problem. The one thing that I can see that could possibly be blocking this. It appears that there is a C clip type of thing that goes around the main shaft going in to the transmission. That appears to be keeping the torque converter shaft from going all of the way back in and over the tabs that stick out on that shaft. Please help.

What am I doing wrong? I'm losing my mind! I pulled the motor with the torque converter attached to the flex plate because I'm an idiot. I'm trying to get the torque converter back on the transmission and it simply will not go back on. I'm losing it! I tried to do just that for about 4 hours today. I've tried turning it, lifting it, wiggling it, you name it... seriously, for 4 hours. It clicks once and goes almost the entire way in. It looks like it is about 1/8 or 1/4 inch out too far. Is it simply impossible to get it on there with the transmission in the car? Any thoughts are appreciated. How can I tell when it is in far enough? Thanks. If anyone in central Ohio wants to help me figure this out, I'll buy you lunch and a 6 pack. I've done a bunch of engine swaps, but never an auto, so this is the only thing holding me back.
