problem reinstalling transmission. help please
i am reinstalling a transmission for a 96 f150 2wd. it is auto with overdrive. i reinstalled the torque converter in the housing and everything was aligned right. when i went to mount the transmission on the truck, i aligned everything up and slid the the tranny forward. the bolts from the torque converter went right into the flywheel. so i had about 1 inch from the housing to the engine block. i pushed the transmission forward more and got all bolts to line up to the block and started to tighten. i did a cross pattern so i didnt mess up anything. i was able to get the 4 bolts on the drivers side and the top of the housing to bolt tight to the engine. on the passenger side, there is about a 1/4" gap between the housing and the engine block and the two bolts are extremely hard to tighten anymore. do i need to redrop the tranny and start over? did i mess something up? i dont want to crack the housing or push the pump back in the transmission. thanks!!
