I have a 03 4.6 explorer that needed an engine rebuild but when i got back to putting everything back together the engine would lock up so i took everything apart and realized that the torque converter wasnt seated all the way and it was also stuck it wouldnt come off or go in to seat all the way so after much struggling i finally was able to pull the torque converter off i noticed that the input shaft was out almost 2 inches instead of the normal 1 inches when ever try to seat the torque converter it just spins and is almost flush with the bellhousing. My understanding is that in the 5R55S transmissions the input shaft should just slide out but i have tried pulling it all sorts of ways and it really is stuck on there im thinking i might have to pull the pump but i would really prefer not go that route. Any ideas??
