The FSM on my '65 Satellite w/727 says to coat the crankshaft "pocket" with bearing grease where the torque converter's center hub sits when the engine and tranny are mated together.

I forgot to do this, but could go back and do it.

Does it matter? What's the purpose?

There wasn't any grease in there when I pulled the tranny off, but I recall seeing streaks of the old stuff on the flexplate.



Thanks,

That grease ? ...don't worry about that. But MAKE SURE you have those trans-locating pins in the back of the block !!

i can only think it's to prevent rust from building up.

Thanks guys,

I've already bolted them together just not torqued yet (I only noticed the grease thing when I double checked the FSM procedure).

Doc, I think you mean the two stud kinda things that fit into the holes on the bellhousing? Yep, everything lines up -TC sits right good and I've got the one flexplate hole lined up opposite the TC drain plug (like the FSM says).

Yes Art .. those kinds-things ! ....and a long LONG time ago I put a trans on the back of a motor that DID NOT have them. The converter bushing did-not last long !
