This will seem like a stupid question, but is there any way to fill the torque converter with out pulling the transmission? It is in a project truck and I got in a hurry and put it together and installed the trans, but I think I forgot to fill the TC. It has been awhile since it was done, life gets in the way. The trans cooler lines are not installed either

Start the engine and the pump will fill the converter. Although it's a good idea to add fluid to the converter they are generally primed already when they are tested.
