Ensure that the mating surfaces on the torque converter cover are clean.

Apply a light coating of grease to the torque converter guide studs and in the holes for the guide bushings on the torque converter cover.

Ensure that the torque converter is as far into the gearbox as possible.

Check with a ruler that the distance between the cover and mounting lugs is approximately 14 mm  .
