E90 automatic transmission install question

Compman · 08-20-2019, 12:15 PM

Need someone to shed a little insight on installing the automatic transmission in a 2010 335i.

Long story short I did an engine swap and while installing the transmission I left the torque converter mounted on the engine and it would not seat easily.

Should the torque convertor be removed and seated in the transmission first?

Good lord man. Yes, yes of course it should.
