Not sure what just happen? Got it all put together up to the pump to close up the case every thing was fine till I bolted it up?? Then I could not turn the shaft that goes into the torque converter? Pulled the pump off and the middle section is now stuck in the case! Tail shaft turns a little hard can't do it with my fingers but with a little pipe wench I can with out to much effort. Not sure what I did wrong I took my time right amount of plates and disks ect. Need to come up with a way to pull it out. I think I can use a puller against the center shaft to free it if I can snag inside the groves carefully. I will have to sleep on it and start fresh. Bummed and tired! Internal Seals are fun to put on but I figured a way to do it still takes a while. You need a clamp for your 3rd hand and run around it as you roll it on a table carefully doing so as to not mess it up. Got close several times till my loose clamp falls off and it comes apart again. This part is not for someone with out patience! Lining up the guts with out the special tools take time. I made one for the tail shaft to support that end. I could not hold after works slipped apart going in! A simple long tube to stick in the back tail shaft out to the front slip the shaft in it and hold both the tube and the spline shaft. This is one of the hardest things I have had to put together!
