It also doesn't hurt to fill it, but filling it does nothing to help the converter. Once the trans is installed the converter will start filling as soon as the engine starts to crank. Ford builds millions of automatic transmissions each year. They all have torque converters. None of these converters are filled before they are installed.

Slide the torque converter onto the input shaft of the transmission. Turn the converter left and right as you push it onto the shaft to make sure the converter engages the lockup shaft, input shaft, and front pump. You should hear three distinct clicks as each is engaged.
