The last time I tried to get the TC on it the shaft pulled out about three inches when I took the TC off.

It should be close to flush with the stationary shaft, and the pump shaft should protrude 21mm past it. I just don't know what I need to do to get it seated. I really don't want to take the transmission out and stand it on end, which is the suggestion from Bentley.

Got it seated. Used a 15mm deep socket, twist and tap with a rubber mallet. After about 10 minutes it snapped back in place.

"Snapped," was probably not the right term. I was lightly tapping it when it slipped back into place. It felts as I would expect it would, having rebuilt a bunch of engines and done just about everything else on air-cooled, manual transmission VWs.

Well, I don't think it ended well. I now have a whine in the transmission when not under load. The AT fluid level is also still full, although I lost a fair amount of fluid when the TC came off with the engine. I'll be dropping the transmission this weekend and digging into it. I'm hoping one of the many parts just fell out of place, but I'm guessing it won't be that simple.
Any suggestions on where to start would be appreciated. My plan is to drop the transmission, separate the transmission from the final drive, and take the transmission apart.
