   HINT: 

   If the stator shaft splines are difficult to engage with the stator splines, move the torque converter back approximately 10 mm (0.394 in.) and engage the splines while rotating the torque converter assembly.

3. Turn the torque converter assembly to engage the key of the oil pump drive gear into the slot on the torque converter assembly.
