hey if the torque converter not in properly will it move the drive sharft down in the dif making it hard to push

If the torque converter is not in properly it will stuff the oil pump up when ya crank the engine, and I highly doubt you would be able to get the trans bolted up - in fact I've seen someone crack a housing trying to do one up with the trans not sitting in properly. The Input and Output shafts are completely seperate to one another and the Torque converter would have no influence on the output shaft.
Are you sure its a 3 speed Auto! Is it floor change or on the tree! If it has 1/2/3/D then it's most likely to be a 4 speed
if the torque converter is in wrong will it push the drive sharft into the dif making it hard to push the car

I still stick with what i said about the torque converter not being fully engaged in the auto,it will push the whole drive train along inside the box,so yes will show at tail shaft end,why not loosen the bell housing bolts and try turning the motor by hand,if it turns then the torque converter is not in properly,ive had this a few times and if you dont go too far you can get away with refitting it into the auto and then bolting up with out any probs.

Are you saying the car will roll freely with the driveshaft removed! The engine is locked up still and the car won't roll!

Have you actually tried engaging the torque converter properly or are you hoping for an easier solution!

Morning mate try taking the converter back out of the gearbox and placing it onto the flexi plate to make sure it sits flush and can you upload some photos eg: flexi plate,torque converter outand in the gearbox!

So pull the gear box off and install torque converter properly or have you been putting it off for some reason! ( ."so no one realy knows")

So pull the gear box off and install torque converter properly or have you been putting it off for some reason! ( ."so no one realy knows")
It shouldn't be tight. (to pull off) Sounds like the gear box is stuck. Either way torque converter has to came off to find out what's causing it to be tight (turning or pulling!)
It's quite possible the torque converter fell forward a bit when you split the two and isn't fully engaged without you noticing.
