As you stated the converter is about 1/2" from lugs to flex plate . Would this keep the ring gear away from the starter ? I have never seen this much distance , all of my converters have been right up to the flex plate . When I worked at Chry dealer stock converters never had a distance of 1/2" , they always slid right up close to flex plate . I have heard of the pilot not being machined correctly . Never seen this . I would vote for pulling the converter & relieve the snout . Gary
Hi Gary,
No no...when the converter is pulled OUT of the transmission and brought towards the flexplate there appears to be only about 0.065" room left. I re-read my posts and honestly could not find the reference to "...converter is about 1/2" from the lugs to flex plate...", if I missed it please tell me where because that is absolutely incorrect and it would be a mistake on my part, which I would like to fix.
