i just did this yesterday in my car, put the torque converter inside the tranny, dont bolt it to the engine first, then line up the splines with the engines flywheel, push it together. after that you can get under the car and spin the torque converter where the flywheel shield is supposed to go to get it to line up with the flywheel holes. i had my brother spin the crank as i put each of the 3 bolts in on the flywheel. but once you get 1 bolt in and started on the engine to tranny, tighten it down to get the tranny to close gap, i also used it to kind of pivot the engine in place. carefull not to strip threads though. after that 1 bolt is in the rest seems to be cake.
