Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tech B is correct because when installing the torque converter, it must engage with the input shaft, stator support, and pump drive, which are the three separate engagements that should be felt. Tech A is incorrect because the torque converter is typically installed onto the transmission first, and then the assembly is bolted to the flexplate.
