hi fellas. just bolting up my gearbox and wondering if theres anything i should be doing? ie. do i need to fill the converter up with oil before i put the gearbox on or will it fill up when i fill the gearbox up? other than that, do i basically just bolt the converter to the flexplate then slide the shafts in to it? i know it may sound like a stupid question but ive never done it before and just wana make sure i'm doing it right. thanks heaps.
