sounds like the TC wasnt seated properly. Did you measure the distance fromt the TC to the flex plate? this is a critical step especially if your using an aftermarket TC. can cause pump damage/failure

Here is great thread for TC installation. then see my post #77 as a referance

This is a great link; Wish I could have found this before I started. Searched CF but not LS1

Just appreciate Mark for being patient, and T.J for helping me get my mess straightened out as "painless" as possible

it is! and funny thing is they never mention this important step on any DIY install write ups!!!

with the permission of the mods i would like to start a new thread quoting the first post of that thread (just in case that thread disappears on tech) with a direct link to it and make it a sticky or put it in the ultimate sticky thread

Mark's a first class guy! Great garage setup too, with the exception of the rotting RX7 sitting next to it. :-)
