won't hurt it but i bet it was messy, it would be nearly imposiable to put it back together that way. you need to take it off and put it on the tranny first, then toss the tranny in. you have to turn the converter to get it to drop into the tranz, it has a couple of things that need to engauge so turn it while pushing and be sure it is in all the way. when you get the tranny bolted up the converter shouldn't be presed up against the flex plate, you should be able to turn it with you finger to get the first bolt to line up.

The converter will slide back and be about 1" inside of the bellhousing ( the mounting surface that is)

how do i know, i've taken my f#cking trans out four times in the past 2 weeks, i'm getting pretty good at it. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />

be ABSOLUTELY SURE that the converter is installed correctly unless you tranny want tranny problems. more specifically the pump.
