Transmission install need help !!!

[Jeffbass]

Well the junkyard trans came with a torque converter but maybe I will just mark the old one and just use it rather than the new one. That’s a good idea I will try to retain the fluid and add same amount. I plan on changing the rear main seal. I was gonna ask advice on the trans filter and gasket on the junkyard trans. It only has 43000 on it should I change the filter it has been sitting on a shelf .

it's up to you, that isn't high mileage but for piece of mind so you know it's been done you could. It isn't any easier to do with it out of the car so you could always save it for later

So the trans went in fine drove it around a bit was good. I had noticed that my control are bushing we’re worn out and I think this might have contributed to the play in the trans. I ordered new control arms and put the key in the ignition while I was working on it because I kept needing to turn the wheel. This caused the battery to die. I then jumped it with my other car and let it run I drove it down the street planning to drive it around and it stalled out. I turned the key to the off position but the dash light stayed on, but the engine would not shut off although I could change gears to get it in neutral. The car is now not starting but can still use the key to turn it on. It is a 2010 Yaris did I immobilize it or something? I am lost. But it feels like some kind of electrical problem. If I put key in the car turns on the engine fan turns on and I can use turn signals when in the on position but not when I turn to off. When I turn to off the engine fan continues to run and all dash lights stay on till I pull the negative wire.
