The first thing your going to think is OMG the tranny is slipping.Your going to hear every little noise thinking **** did I tighten that bolt did I forget anything.
LOL
The top bolt on the tranny is tough to get to.You may need to heat the bolts that hold on the converter (did you get new bolts with the converter)?
It will take you a good week to get use to it.
I took it easy for a 100 miles, but TCI says you don't have to.Just take your time and double check everything.
It took my guy roughly 2hrs to install.
Good luck and have fun its a nice converter.
