I was installing a motor into a 2015 Subaru, the tourqe converter wasn’t fully seated in and I had to tighten the transmission bolts to the motor to try and seat it, as I was tightening the bolts down I hear a snap noise and everything seated in, the question here is did I snap or break anything when it snapped in?

 

Time to scrap it and get something American made. How about a 3rd gen f body

 

"the tourqe converter wasn’t fully seated in and I had to tighten the transmission bolts to the motor to try and seat it"

What horrifying logic

 

You are on the wrong website. This website is for 1982 to 1992 3rd generation Chevrolet Camaros and Pontiac Firebirds.

Most likely you broke something. What you did, you don't ever do that no matter what year, make, or model car or truck.

 

WTH is a "subaru?"

 

Subaru, Chevrolet, doesn't matter you shouldn't have done what you did. Chances are the snapping sound was the hundred dollar bills coming out of your bank account and into the transmission that you broke the pump on.

 

The guys who responded above were absolutely right on all counts......

First off, you are on a website dedicated exclusively to 1982-1992 Chevy Camaro / Pontiac Firebird cars only, , the third generation of GM's "F Body" car. Your Subaru question is off topic here.

With that said, yes indeed the guys who told you that you broke the transmission's fluid pump are 100% correct, on ANY brand of car this is the guaranteed result of bolting the transmission/engine together without the converter properly indexed into the transmission's pump. Now, don't add insult to injury by completing the install and filling it with fluid only to find out that we're right and it doesn't work, your only course of action now is to take it back out and have someone who knows transmissions fit a new pump to it, and then make GODDAMNED sure you've got it indexed correctly the next time you install it.

Not to bust your aggies too much here, , but, , our for sale section has plenty of nice Camaros & Firebirds for sale, if ya wanna drive something with a bit more class than a Subrau.......

 

Give up the birkenstock and granola bars and come to the dark side

 

No Subaru forums on the Internet??...

 

Yep, snapped the ear's off the pump.

 

Yep, , , the two little tabs at roughly the six and twelve o clock position in this pic are what went "Snap"
