I bought a reconditioned transmission using the VIN number. once the transmission bolts are tightened it seems like the torque converter is stuck or binding. The trans will not turn; not even from the fly wheel. need help with verifying proper trans and why it might be binding.

Masteryou would not see any damage, when you put the torque convertor in...you have to make sure it is seated all the way in...that is what ziptie is trying to tell you.
