Doing an engine swap - old motor was froze so converter was pulled with engine. Trying to install converter on the shaft and will not go in the last inch or so - measured 1-5/8" from engine to end of flex plate, and just over 1 inch from bell housing to TC pads...
Read some threads on "wiggling" but just isn't going on.
Is there something I'm missing here? Could the pump have become mis-aligned?
Using a probe rod, I can feel where the notches are (near 3 & 9:00 )that should match up with the end of the TC
Is there any reason that the rear wheels should be off the ground? The outer shaft is not turning during install tries.
