Hey guys ! New to the forum and could really use some advice. I bought a 2004 Mazda 3 2.0l trans was bad so I ordered a used one from LKQ . Received the trans and looks the exact same as the one I pulled out same sensors everything etc.. when I mated the new trans to the engine I was unable to turn the crank with a ratchet. What would cause this issue?

It’s almost like the torque converter isn’t set in all the way and putting pressure against the flywheel in return making it hard to turn the crank. I’m taking it back out to mess with it. Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue
