Engine replacement -7- Torque converter, connected to AT, GD-TT2

When I removed the torque converter, the ATF inside leaked out, so I thought I might as well drain it all and fill it with new ATF.
I think I put in about 1 litre.
If I poured it all in at once it would overflow, so I poured it in little by little while shaking it until it was full.

Assemble the torque converter into the automatic transmission, being careful not to spill any ATF inside.
The shaft has multiple mating sections, so turn and push it until it all fits together…
The torque converter should fit about 2cm behind the edge of the transmission case.

Next, fit the torque converter shaft into the hole in the centre of the engine end plate to join them.
After tightening the fastening bolts between the transmission case and engine, look into the end plate through the window on the engine side and install and tighten, in order, the three bolts that fasten the torque converter to the end plate.

I didn’t understand this procedure at first, so when I attached the torque converter to the end plate and tried to fasten the transmission, I had a hard time because the torque converter shaft wouldn’t fit into the transmission properly.
It’s heavy, so it’s difficult to fit and remove.

The engine and automatic transmission have been successfully joined together.

Since it was such a hassle, I took another commemorative photo from a different angle.

I loaded it into the body.
It was heavy and difficult, so I don’t have any photos of the process. (^_^;)

I placed the engine on a dolly and inserted it under the car, then jacked up both ends of the cross member and placed it on.
It would probably be easier if I had a lift, but even without one, it’s still manageable.
