It sounds like it's all ready in. But, a few notes..a tthe start, tkae the flexplate and lay it over the torque convertor, in the same orientation as it is on the engine. (indented side towards you...) then, line up the flex plate to convertor holes. When they all line up, take some sray bomb paint, and go accross on ear of the flexplate and convertor. The mark and shadow this leave means when the motor is in, and the convertor seated in the trans, you have to only tighten the bolts, not search for the right orientation, then tighten. They only go together one way. Next, you attach the flex to the crank, and torque it to spec. Then, you seat the convertor, and just like the diagram, it has to be "in" all the way, or you'll break off the pump drive luggs. If the motor is in, and the convertor is still bolted to it, and the trans is in the car already, then pull the motor, and do it like I said. You'll cost a bunch of effort and $$ to fix the trans afterward if you dont. I dont know of a soul who could ever get the convertor all the way in with it still on the engine. From the bottom, with the exh, trans, and suspesion is the best way, but you're beyond that from the sound of it.
