Torque Converter woes! need some assistance
so i bought this automatic 92 dak 4x2 about 3 months ago so far I've replaced the water pump ,all the water lines, the headers, the distributor cap ,rotor, and wires , and i just rebuild the transmission and got na ew TC for it..........
the torque converter i have is the cr28(the part number from advance auto) when i slide this torque converter onto my transmissions input shafts it goes in clicks and then i turn it and it slides down again for the second click
when i tried installing it i got it all to line up but the TC is not allowing the trans to fully close onto the block (1/2 an inch if not more away from that) the fly wheel(the ring of teeth around the TC) is butting up against the flex plate im thinking i need the slotted TC instead of the flat milled TQ can any tell me how i can know for sure (i already turned in my old TC as a core charge :/)

Just from looking at the info on the site, it looks like it is not the correct one. Yes it should have the notch. The notch drives the fluid pump.
Here is the one you got.

Are you sure the converter is fully seated?
Per the service manual "Verify that converter is fully seated. Use straight edge and steel ruler to check seating (Fig. 6). Surface of converter lugs should be 12.7 mm (1/2 in.) to rear of straight edge when converter is fully seated."
Are you also sure that it (the transmission as a whole) is not caught on something, and that the pilot hub (thing sticking out of the center) of the torque converter is aligned with the drive-plate?
There should also be alignment dowels on the block, is the transmission aligned with those too?
Obviously, for the transmission to properly slide to the block, it will have to be at about the same angle as the engine.
