I have a fresh trans (904) and a brand new Ultimate converter but as far as I can get the converter down there just isn't any clearance with the flex plate. With the converter down as far as it will go there is only .400" from the bell housing to the converter bolt lugs. I have stabbed plenty of converters in my day and never had a problem. It hits two sets of splines and won't go down any further. Any ideas?

I did that too,broke the ears off the pump.It needs 3 clicks to get it in.I think mine was about .400 then a click and it went.Thats the frist time i broke it.

If you have help and can stand the trans on end, just spin the converter and it will drop from gravity. My Dad taught me that trick years ago. Tim

Everything looks good and the tags are turning but it won't go all the way down. I have tried putting it on its tail and spinning the converter just can't get it to fall.
