hey guys,
Sorry to jump on an old thread but i don't have the minimum reply count yet and need to get my 4runner back on the road. So i bought the truck missing the transmission and am putting a junkyard trans into it. Everything bolted up fine, and the motor spun just fine when i checked it prior. I got the transmission in and went to put the flex plate bolts in, but i cant get it to turn anymore. Any ideas on what the issue is? i know it sat for a while and i did drain the old fluid before installing it so there is a chance the torque converter is dry, but would that be enough to stop it from spinning? I'm a fairly big guy and i couldn't get it to budge with a breaker bar.
