You've got bum info about the torque converter bolts. I've installed hundreds of transmissions in my shops.
Just look first at the converter/flexplate bolt holes since two are elongated in circumference, the third is elongated in radius.
The one that is elongated in radius is your KEY bolt hole.
Put the KEY hole in position to access through the starter hole and you can install and tighten that one first, all the way.
The other two holes will then be in perfect alignment to install/tighten fully as you get to them.
This will save you time in not having to turn the flexplate around multiple times to get the bolts started and tightened.
Dont worry about tightening them like wheel nuts. go for total torque as you get to them.

Fingers crossed! Great Video! I know very little about automatics, learn a little as time went on, but stayed away from the internals!
One tech in our shop was a GM dealer tech, fixed a trans in our shop using the old trans and rebuilt to get it to fit AND WORK in the truck. It's still running!
Hopefully this one in the video is too! Worse one I saw was in a brand new Ford truck with a dead trans. I got under the vehicle, and saw a Ford REMAN sticker on the trans! That went over like a lead balloon! It finally got a new trans WITH a great warranty from Ford!
Go figure!

Hey Eric, I have my own transmission shop in Maryland and have been doing this for the past 28 years. You ever need any assistance or advice feel free to hit me up anytime. I wont put my info on here unless you want it. We rebuild 99% of what comes in but If we purchase a trans anymore it will only be Jasper do to warranty reimbursements. Keep up the good videos!

Personally I would never buy a rebuilt transmission, I would much rather buy a low mile used one out of a wreck. I read somewhere that around 25% (or more) of them go bad almost immediately, SO! I helped my neighbor replace his on his Honda Accord, he paid 100 for the trans at one of these you pull it places, still running fine. TheReaper!

My 2002 GMC Sierra 1500 has 250, 000 + miles on the engine and transmission and has never been opened up, still running good. Engine gets oil and filter changed with Castros GTX every 5000 miles and trans serviced every 50, 000 miles, never had it flushed, should do that soon but have a hard time trusting a shop to do it right and thorough.

I am wondering if that tranny cool lines fitting required crush washers. You said they bottomed out. With crush washer would have bottomed out on washer I've rebuilt 1 th350 out of a 79 Buick and thats what I needed. Had to go into the parts room at Advanced and look thru their bins to find them cause they were outdated with the O rings.

If those threaded all the way in they need O rings like you said. Did it state on the package they were NPT on quick disconnects. I had to make custom fittings for my zo6 vette when I added after market radiator in it, which they sent barbed fittings and I wanted to stay with the factory quick diconnects.

Always make sure that the correct dipstick is in the transmission. I have found people breaking the dipstick and running to the scrap yard to get a replacement and picking the wrong one. They run the transmission with the wrong fluid level because the dipstick is the wrong length.
