Still having problems. Motor will not turn manually, Wrong TC possibly???Thanks

[tmorrison83]

I have taken the tranny back off and on 3 different times. I am positive the Torque Converter is lined up and pushed all the way back on the tranny before bolting to motor. Engine turns manually until last 1/8 inch is closed by tightening tranny bolts.Then I can't even spin the motor to bolt the converter bolts. Before tightening the tranny bolts that last 1/8 inch I can hear the TC rubbing if I turn the motor by hand. Is it possible the output shaft on the torque converter is too long or short? I have done some research and there are a few different applications for this setup. I ordered it over the phone from a tranny shop. I gave them my make and model. I'm thinking they messed up and sent me the wrong stuff. The pack slip says 4.0 motor and low stall. Here is the model of the TC: F-57RDAA I have a 92 XLT. Does someone know if this is the wrong TC?

Did the aluminum spacer between the transmission and engine block get messed up?

Otherwise, if you are installing the TQ into the transmission, then sliding the entire assembly onto the back of the engine, aligning the converter bolts and drawing them down (I always use a crossing pattern, partially tighten one, spin it half way around, do the opposite side, then hit the other two to make sure it is pulling evenly) it should not hit anythnig.l

It would have to be a completely wrong setup to hit, and that isn't likely, as virtually all the A4LD parts bolt onto the 4.0 motor.
