I recently installed my transmission, and first I had the studs on the converter bolted to the wrong slot on the flywheel. When I tried to crank it it made a loud clanking noise. I only allowed the engine to spin over a few times, and never actually let it idle more than a few seconds before I stopped and aligned the flywheel properly. I also forgot to add fluid to the converter, but I put around five quarts in the pan. Now it does not make any noise but the transmission does not engage and it rolls freely when pushed no matter what gear it is in. Could I have damaged something internal when I tried to crank it with the converter bolts in the wrong hole on the flywheel, even though the holes it was bolted to were less than an inch from the one it was supposed to be in, and since I did not let it make that noise for more than five minutes total. Also, since I forgot to add fluid to the converter will the transmission pump fluid throughout or should I drop the transmission again and add fluid directly to the converter? I have read mixed reviews on this, some say the transmission will pump it through others say it will not. Is there any way to check to see if I damaged the pump without dropping the transmission again?
