On a Mercedes tranny, there are 3 times that the torque converter will engauge. You have to know when it has hit bottom. If not, you will break the teeth off of the front pump. (I have seen techs do this over and over).

You only need to worry about this if you take out the converter. I always take out the converter bolts and then push the converter back before removal of the tranny. Then just reinstall.
