A lot of people will tell you three clicks to get it seated. I never heard any clicks when I put TCs in though. I would just get a straight edge and a ruler and check the depth after sliding it on. Also, rotate it as you're sliding it on so that it goes the whole way on.

I definatly felt the 3 clicks while rotating the converter on the input shaft, this is CRUCIAL! If you put it not all the way on and start/drive the car you can really screw up the tranny
