Installing used transmission question

[mrau92me]

Haynes manual says to mark the relationship of the torque converter to the Drive plate, but that's for if I was gonna reinstall the same transmission. so how do I go about getting the torque converter's position correct on the drive plate with the used trannie I'm going to install?

You don't. You just bolt it up.

If the old converter were being used, you would mark mark one stud and the hole it was in on the flexplate. They're concerned about vibration.

If a new converter comes with the replacement transmission, you must ignore the converter/plate consideration. imp

I wonder why the Haynes says to mark it before removing it then to align the marks when reinstalling the transmission?

Edit: disregard above reply...my tablet didn't update quickly enough for me to see the other comments.
