Auto tranny bolt up problem, please help!

[slinarez25]

Was there any difference at all in 6 bolt crankshafts? Like auto vs manual.
Because i swapped an engine from a manual car into my auto car and now my tranny wont bolt up right.

There is a little nub that sticks out of the back of the torque converter that goes into the end of the crankshaft, and that nub is a little skinnier and longer than the hole in the crankshaft so it wont go on flush.

But on my other 6 bolt crank it fit like a glove. The hole is just as skinny and deep as the torque converter nub.

So the hole on the new 6 bolt crank is a little wider and more shallow than the old crank, but its still a 6 bolt so i dont know how it could be different!
Im confused! Please help.

P.s. Im POSITIVE the torque converter is all the way in the tranny.

There is an insert in the auto crank that the torque converter slides into. You just need to remove the insert from your old crank and put it in the new one.

Ok thanks! Is the insert really obvious though? Becasue i probably should have saw it, but i dont remember seeing it . Oh well ill have to double check later because im at work right now.

You may have better luck just buying a new insert, because they can be a real pain to remove without damaging for some.
