It is all a matter of sequence.��

I think he's got that, he's trying to reinstall the tranny after the IMS and RMS has been done. What I can't understand is why the TC is locked up. Do you lock the TC when removing the tranny? Why isn't it spinning for him, unless it's not seated all the way in the tranny and putting too much pressure on the flex plate.

One reason would be the converter has moved forward and out of the front pump.

That's what I was wondering. It happened to me once doing a Subie. Turning the TC to realign the splines allowed me to push it back in. Not sure if that applies to the Porsche Tip.
