hole there on Omega, too.

T/C can come out with the engine, but MUST go in separately.

There is a danger that you'll damage the bushing and oil seals that support the torque converter nose in the gearbox or, worse still, it won't engage fully with the autobox oil pump and you'll crush the torque converter as you tighten the bell housing bolts.

If you assemble the TC to the gearbox you can be sure that it has engaged and slid fully in before offering up the engine.
