gsx tranny into tsi talon Questions...:(

[WFORACING]

OK well I am tackling the tranny swap from a 95-99 gsx not sure of the year , into a 95 talon tsi and noticed the 2 trannies that are supposed to be identicle have different torque converters...Well I decided to put the converter from the talon tranny into the gsx tranny and install it because it was about a 1/2" thicker than the other they are both the same circumference...Thats where I think I went wrong ....I put both converters in the tranny to see how they measured up...the gsx converter sat down in about 1/2" more than the tsi converter... So any advise from somebody that has been through this would help alot..I did a search but noticed everybody saying they are identicle...I did install the tranny and it would not bolt all the way in. seems like I was missing about 1/2" .....Hope i did the right thing by buying the gsx tranny.....Thanks in advance......Also noticed the front mounting bracket seems to be a little to high for the bracket to bolt up to the cross memebr brace under the car.....everything else looks good...

You have to rotate the converter to get it to seat, it should clunk down 3 times I believe.

I have a converter from Precision on the way out of a 95, I hope it works in my 97
