Converter stuck in cranksaft!

kanders said
Just my opinion but..... If the crank is ok and the converter is the problem then if you change converters (commonly done for peformance reasons) then
all other converters will be sloppy. I would still opt to work the converter instead but it's your parts, hope it works for ya. Kev

I had posted to your other thread about measure the hub of the convertor and the hub of the crankshaft, post# 26. he's right on about work on the convertor hub only,and yes the convertor should move freely in and out of the crank but it is a michined fit as this is the support for the front of the convertor.to clean up the convertor hub I would use a file and old fashioned hand labor,egg shaped hub will destroy something

you have it on correctly,it will not mount flush if it is backwards and the bolts wont all line up if it's backwards. before you install the trans hold the flexplate up to the convertor and paint one bolt hole and a spot on the convertor to ease finding the right spot.and dont tighten any of the convertor bolts untill all of them are in,the flexplate to the crank bolts are as said 55 lbs torque and the flexplate to convertor bolts are less( I think around 25 lbs torque but I do not have a manual to look in so you should find out)......definately take the flexplate loose from the engine and make sure it bolts to the convertor as there are two diffrent size flexplates and also measure the hub of the convetor and the hub of the crank to make sure they will mate up.
