Trans Crossmember isn't lining back up...
I replaced my torque converter and pump seal saturday and for some reason I could only get one bolt in the driver's side frame for the crossmember. Did my frame bend from being on stands for 7 hours? Any tips?
Thanks,
Ted

The frame can def flex when jacked up. Might try dropping it on its wheels and see if you can start the bolt in or try jacking it up slightly in a few def places and see if you can start the bolt.

Re: Trans Crossmember isn't lining back up... (Fevre)
the only place that seems like it would allow the frame to come back in would be jacking it up under the differential. Is there any problem with doing this?

Not my perferred jack point but I have use it. Is the car up on stands right now? If so try jacking on the frame rails in a few diff spots and see if the car flexs a little. My vert really flexes. :eek:
