Second Hughes Converter desroyed??!

Are you putting the converters on to the transmission input shaft all the way. If you had to use the bolts to pull the transmission the last 3/4” or so that’s your issue. The other issue you would see if the converter isn’t seated all the way is that you had trouble spinning the converter when trying to line up the bolts.
Wouldn't it snap the pump if that was the case? What kinda flex plate?
