DITTO..., You can also destroy your front seal, on your tranny, by doing that. You should always bolt the tranny housing, to the engine block first, and then do the torque converter bolts afterwards. I destroyed, more than one new front seal, trying to bolt the torque converter, to the flywheel first.
