    just installed a rebuilt transmission. Torque converter was recessed in
    converter housing about 3/16" per requirements. Bolting converter to the
    drive plate required closing about an 1/8" gap. Rotate engine and drive
    plate scrapes against cover plate. Cover plate doesn't look bent!
    Did have crankshaft out for miking and new bearings, but do not see how
    this could create the problem.
    Have shop manual, and drive plate is installed correctly.
    Question: Was it okay for Torque converter to be moved about 1/8"? Or must
    it be relatively tight in the position when lifted into place?
