Trimatic bell housing

I have been told you need a trans shop to put a bell housing on properly, is this rite or can I get (borrow) the tool to do it myself?

You see I have a 360 degree one on my sedan (red motor) and I have the other type on the tranny I want to put behind a grey, so I need to do a swap. I have the engine out of the sedan at the moment but don't want to remove the tranny if I can help it, any help would be great, Trev 8) .

For the record, I asked a trans speciaist today and he said, as long as when it's bolted up the converter spins freely with no rubbing at all, Trev 8) .

I'm with Rosco, sorry Trev. I've got little to no idea other than I do know you need to seat the convertor properly when installing the auto or it won't spin at all.... :oops: :oops: :oops:

Its over 25 years since I did an Auto swap to a grey, but as you have been told.
Alignment of the converter and free spinning before bolting them together.
