When I got my 300C, the transmission was shot but I wanted to see if the engine ran ok. I removed the transmission and supported the back of the engine under the bell housing. The engine ran fine just with the converter attached. No vibration from the fluid still in the converter as it finds its own centre (like a washing machine on spin cycle).

Or does the auto trans secure the converter into the crank shaft end?
