Topic: Hondamatic Torque Converter

[triker]

Needing some help here.  I removed the Torque Converter cover on my '77 750a with the intention of polishing it.  After I removed the cover I pulled the torque converter too since it had slipped partway off (should this have happened?) during the process.  I examined the shafts, etc., decided everything looked petty good and attempted to put the TC back on.  Can't get it to go clear on!  I can't tell if the rear splines are lined up or if I need to tap it or ??  Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.  None of my manuals say anything about it.

 Since no one else has responded,  I'm not familiar with bike converters but a car converter has notches to line up and sometimes can be tough to get. I'm wondering if there is a way to turn or hold the shaft in place while the conveter is rotated or vice versa?  Whatever you do don't force it.  Many transmissions have been damaged that way.

Well dont force it. Tap may be ok. Ill look at one in the AM. Been a while since I had one off.

Thanks for the responses!  I let it set overnight and everything lined up the next day, actually a few light taps made a lot of difference.

Hey,  any advice or how did you go removing the cover,? Had similar idea to polish  but the first bolt I tried to remove rounded so easy !

 For case crosspoint screws I use a snap on #3 phillips bit on a light duty battery impact. Others will say buy JIS screwdrivers.
