How far should torque converter go in before transmission before install?

Before installing the transmission, the torque converter should be pushed into the transmission until it fully engages with the pump. Typically, this means the converter should be seated about 1-2 inches into the bellhousing, ensuring it’s properly aligned and locked in place. You should feel a slight "click" or resistance when it’s correctly engaged. Always double-check that the converter is fully seated to avoid damage during installation.
