Do not pull the trans away from the engine you may unindex the pump and break it, What is sinched?But yes the converter should turn freely if all is well and you can put the bolts in , Be sue to pull the converter forward then put bolts in do not use the bolts to pull the converter forward

yea i haven't even gotten that far yet... i just didn't want the trans hanging on the bolts, so i ran them all the way in and tightened them until i can get another chance to work on the car.
