Installed the tranny and t-case ( pain in the ass ) and forgot to put fluid in the torque converter. How fawked up will it get if i fill the pan and start it? Can i prime it somehow so fluid gets into the converter?

Add half reccomended ammount of fluid, start it up, shift into reverse then drive then reverse then park, [b]DO NOT REV THE ENGINE WHILE IN GEAR AND ONLY LEAVE IN GEAR FOR A FEW SECONDS!
Shut down the engine, add the rest of the fluid, re-start the engine, go through the R-D-R-P again, leave the engine running, check your fluid level (both sides of the dipstick!), top off as needed and you're done.

yea - not a real biggie - I did that myself - had some pinging in the TC for a little bit due to trapped air, but that worked its way out...
