If the torque converter doesn't line up with teh oil pump in the trans you will break the pump gears and the tarans won't work. It will be kind of hard to turn by hand. Make sure it is seated all theway in thoughbefore installing.

Not being a trans guy you are kind of asking for trouble. Youcan take the pump out and apart and replace th pump inside, but there are rings that must be put on if you just get another one. If everything seems to work ok then you probably haavn'e hurt the pump just be careful that's all. It will turn harder when the converter is in place.

That's because you never gave a really good description of the problem.
