Use new oil, Dextron3

I use liquid gasket on gearbox sumps...

otherwise, old one off, new one on.

fit the TC IN the box, before mating up to flex plate. Make sure it's right back in, located on the Dogs.

The gearbox has two "dogs" that the Torque converter needs to align with, before mating up with the engine.

If I got a free weekend i'd pop over. When are you doing the job?
