Put the torque converter on the tranny before attaching the tranny to the engine. Make sure the TC is fully seating in the transmission. When you put it on you have to rotate it to get the tangs on the pump gears to mate with the notches on the TC.

Addressing the OP initial question and considering it's a crawler he's building and not a mall queen it's extremely accurate in my opinion. Automatics are for folks who can't drive a stick due to disability, incompetence or in Rory's case, it makes his toes hurt. 
Only tater heads who like to be "different" use an auto (slug POS) behind a 22RE (slug) and create a tater double slug POS time bomb.

I have always wanted to try the 22re in a crawler and when i got the opportunity to pick one up with an auto i did it and virtually for free.
And yes i feel being "different" is good and most of the time i do anything i can to make someone want to take second look and say wow that works and i never thought of that. I am sick and tired of looking at the same cookie cutter rigs out there with owners who are ignorant and think there store bought rig is better because they paid someone to tell them it was.
I can admit in this circumstance i am a rookie as this is my first yota build and first auto of the three builds i have done. But to assume right off the bat incompetence and disability is fairly ignorant and comical.
It seems if someone is representing there company on this site they may not want to be seen as the negative person that criticizes a potential customer.

I am surprised someone that is in the industry is making the comment "automatics are for folks who can't drive a stick". It appears you feel every crawler is better off with a manual, maybe you haven't seen the direction of industry but i can tell you it is not putting a sticks in every crawler. There is a plan for this rig and if the A340 does not hold up i am swapping in a 3bt with an NV3500 "i know a manual, hopefully due to my ignorance i can just shift to forth and it will drive itself".

Disability: I have an 88 at my shop now and the only reason the guy is keeping the automatic is because he has too, in other words he is disabled (disability), as in he is paralyzed from the waste down.
Incompetence: Never learned how to drive a stick, i.e my wife.
Rory: I was making fun of him cause I can and he will joke back, ie tater head

Assuming I was calling your disabled, incompetent or ignorant is what is comical. No where have I been derogatory about folks not being able to drive a stick, I simple expressed my experiential opinion about them behind a 22RE, so you owe me an apology for assuming words I did not type. As far as being a customer goes, that is an irrelevant cheap shot.

Yep, that is exactly what I said. It's pretty clear.
A disability means just what it means, a disability as in not able to physically drive a stick.
Incompetence means just what it means, you don't know how to drive a manual, thus you have an automatic.
It's not a great leap. If you are offended I'm sorry but the only person I was making fun of was Rory.

I had a '93 pickup 4-cyl auto and it was annoying to drive on the freeway. Now, I have a '04 Taco 4-cyl auto. It has a lot more power. Now, it's tollerable. I kept the automatic, because I kind of grew acustomed to it. Here on the east coast, we deal with a lot of mud and sand and automatics definitely are better at that. From what I've seen, the only real advantage manuals have is engine braking on descent.
