Automatic tranny question
Ok, not Corvette related . I'm working on my 2000 Blazer changing the automatic tranny. I've always been a manual guy. Just wondering how you know the converter is engaged with the pump?

The converter should spin and set back a little spin again and should set back to the pump once again. should be close to a half inch from fywheel... while bolting trans up spin converter while tighting trans bolts if converter binds at any time STOP, and start over with engagement or front pump or bellhousing damage will result...

Put the convertor in and turn it as you push and wiggle. It'll go "clunk" twice. Try and stick you finger between the bottom of the convertor and the case. I'f your finger won't fit and you can see the hub on the front of the convertor is back from the face of the bellhousing, it should be in. As you put the trans in, the bellhousing should easily set on the rear of the block. If it won't make sure the convertor is still free to turn.
