How can you tighten the torque converter bolts AFTER??
Anybody have a picture of this?

On the bottom of the bell housing on the engine, there is a removable access/dust cover. With the cover off, after bolting the tranny housing, to the engine block, you reach through the opening, slide the torque converter foreward, to the flywheel, line up the bolt holes, and get your first bolt started. Once the bolt is started, you rotate the crankshaft 'til the next bolt holes come around...Repeat this process x3. Get them all tightened and put the dust shield, and you're done with that step. Sorry, no pics on hand, but crawl under your car and get a retinal scan of the removable dust shield. Pop it off really quick and look at how the torque converter is bolted to the flywheel...
