We're slamming you because you gave info that would have cost the guy a transmission case and a lot of down time. Then you claimed it wasn't clear. If so, why did you not ask for clarification?
We have risen above it, YOU OTOH, still slime around in the bullshit you've spread previously.
No you are slamming me because you are basically insecure and it makes you feel better about yourself to act like a child and put others down that you feel threatened by. Knock yourself out Max. Anybody with a open mind can see what you are doing here. Some kids never grow up but there is always hope.

Not slamming... see, this is a DISCUSSION group. We DISCUSS things here. Someone asked a question, you mis-read his question, and provided an incorrect answer. It was pointed out that you mis-read the question. You claimed it was the OP's fault, because he wasn't clear. It was then explained that the OP was indeed clear enough to understand exactly what he was asking about.
That's all, Sno... no slamming - just a discussion. Do you know how the vast majority of people in this group would have handled that situation?
"Oh, sorry about that - I thought he was asking about something else. My mistake"
And that would be the end of it. We're all human here - we all make mistakes. Most of us own up to them, and move on. You, however, are developing a consistent pattern of providing incorrect information, and then blaming everyone BUT you for it. That, my friend, is a textbook definition of immaturity...
dude he talked about seals and the torque converter going into it! have you ever seen a seal on a fly wheel??????
that's a good idea for sure, i ended up just getting lucky, and it plopped nicely into place :)
so now its all done, tranny is snug against the block, so now i need to psych myself up for the next part... bolting the flywheel/flex plate to the torque converter. much fun is anticipated :P
I am slamming you because you almost cost that guy a pile of cash and downtime, nothing more and nothing less. Shut your piehole on the "insecurity" issues because its your stock response, and as with all else you spew, full of bullshit.
Not you are the one full of it and other people see it too, they may not say but they see it. Uou act like a child at times with "tantrums" of name calling. BTW I did not almost cost him anything because I qualified what torque values were for. Do us all a favor Max and grow up some. You have a severe ego problem

I wish I had thought to mention it previously... startup procedure is important as well. My Torqueflite gurus recommend prefilling the torque converter before installing it. Then, after the transmission is installed and before starting the engine, fill it with 4 or 5 quarts of ATF. Start the engine w/ the transmission in neutral, and fill with the remaining ATF as necessary. Tom and others may have more specific info about this.

I didn't call you any names, I said you almost cost the guy big $$, get it right.
The values you claimed you supplied were for the flexplate to torque converter, and you were only 66ftlbs too high. Way to go.
Do us and those looking for info a favor and shut the f*ck up.
You'd really make a terrible teacher. The OP didn't know the name of part he was asking about, and you come back with "101 ft. lbs. for flywheel bolt". Now, if he didn't know that the pump was a pump, wouldn't it be reasonable to assume that he could think you were telling him the "plate" he was asking about was a flywheel? And then proceed to try and torque the bolts to 101 ft. lbs., thereby tearing the aluminum threads right out of the case?
Not to mention the fact that 101 ft. lbs. is completely off the mark, too. My service manual calls for 55 ft. lbs. for the flexplate-to-crankshaft bolts, and 35 ft.lbs. for the flexplate-to-converter bolts. What did you do? Add them together, and add a little bit for good measure?
