My 4r55e failed completely (previous owner killed it towing without knowing how), so now I am replacing it with a salvage trans that came with a torque converter.
I was wondering if someone could tell me why it's emphasized so much not to let the torque converter come out of the transmission when it is removed (outside of the obvious damage that could occur on ground impact)
Is the issue alignment also when reinstalling?
As I said, I have a used transmission that I got from a yard to swap out with my completely failed trans, but the torque converter for the used unit I got was already separate from the transmission body when I picked it up. Will this be a problem for me when I install the two of them? (with regards to possible 'lining up' problems).
Thanks in advance to anyone who can shed some light for me.
