If installed, place intermediate plate onto
bushings.
Make sure that wires do not get pinched as
transmission is docked at engine.
Check whether the torque converter is still
properly installed and has not slid out of the
converter housing toward the font:

- It must be possible to easily turn torque
converter by hand without much force.

WARNING!

In case of an incorrectly inserted torque
converter, the coupling plate of the torque
converter or the ATF-pump will be destroyed,
if the transmission is flanged to the engine.
