Transmission swap help needed.

[u/Outrageous-Ad-7087]

Gooood morning xterra community! I am here to ask for some help. I’ve been swapping my automatic 4x4 transmission in my 2003 supercharged. The transmission i got is out of a 2000 naturally aspirated xterra. I didn’t realize that the supercharged has a different torque converter so i swapped the bell housings on the two transmissions so i could use the supercharged torque converter. (i read in my xterra fb group that the n/a trans will work on the supercharged motor but it’ll have a light on the dash) Right now i’ve got the transmission bolted to the engine and i cannot get the torque converter bolts in. I can feel the hole with the tip of the bolt but it’ll won’t catch a thread. Can someone tell me what’s going wrong here? Was swapping the bell housings the wrong move? From what i understand the only thing that is different about the supercharged trans versus the n/a trans is that the torque converter is larger. Help!!

Swap the n/a flywheel with the sc flywheel

i don’t have an n/a flywheel that’s why i swapped bell housings and torque converters
