shelbyshelby 52 Report post Posted April 22, 2011 The crank doesn't have a pilot bearing in it does it? That would lock it up, but I think something would have broke when the bellhousing bolts were tightened the first time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

69StangRestomod 11 Report post Posted April 22, 2011 proper tc installation is as follows: you slide it on the splines and push it in while you spin the cookies out of it! noone has really stated that I realized, it should jump back intot he tranny once or twice. Ive installed alot of auato trannies and this is the only way to get hte TC in properly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
