Tranny Swap Question....
I pulled the th350 from my 63' and I am replacing it with another th350. The first one was dead...when I pulled the first one, I removed the 3 bolts connecting the torque converter to the flywheel before loosening the 6 bolts holding the tranny to the block. When the 3 bolts were removed the torque converter spun freely while the tranny/engine were still bolted solid together......I put the replacement tranny/torque converter and when I bolted the tranny to the block the torque converter did not spin freely like the original....Do all torque converters actually click or lock when put in? I cant get this one to click like the other and I am worried it may not be fully in place.....

Re: Tranny Swap Question....
Turbo 350 are required to click twice. If you don't do this, you will kill the trans and converter.
Take it apart and get it to click correctly.

Re: Tranny Swap Question....
It was such a Bioch to get in.... I have put long bolts in to maintain the allignment but I still cant get it to click. I do not want to drop it again....If I have to drop it I may use the other torque converter....at least I know it worked!

Re: Tranny Swap Question....
You should be getting the converter "clicked in" off the truck. I wouldn't even try it while in the truck as you can't get good access to push squarely while turning it.
Are you sure your new converter is for a T350? Turbo 400 converters don't lock, from what I have been told.

Re: Tranny Swap Question....

Re: Tranny Swap Question....
With the tranny out, put the TC on the input shaft and spin slowly and push in at the same time. You should feel two click and the TC will go in a little further. That will have the TC enguaged with the input shaft.
I just went thru this with my recent trany swap.
