I think i may have dropped a torque converter nut into the bell housing when removing the trans and i forgot about it and now the tranny is completely back in... again im assuming i did this since i can only find 3 nuts... what should i do? Is it horrible. That it could b in there?

I would try and find a Magnet that Telescopes to try and find it , Other than that not sure what to offer
 












Not sure about damage wise , But I'm sure it cannot be good to leave a Nut somewhere it doesn't belong
 






what Bruce'sexpo said. you dont want that floating around in there. you can chew teeth up on the flywheel, or starter. the other thing that can happen is it jamming the flywheel when your trying to start it. or one other possible thing (not likely, but you never know) it the flywheel grabbing it while its running, and send it flying out the bell housing.
 






Good analogy there Vbz !
