turbo 400 help
I have professionally rebuilt tranny that is going on my rebuilt 305... i bolted the torque converter to the motor, no problems. i put the tranny on the torque converter and got all 3 "clicks" so i know its seated properly. I went to bolt the bell-housing up and i had a 3/8" gap between the block and the housing. I tightened the tranny to the motor and now they are perfect, no gap. My question is the tranny bolted up a little tough, will this hurt my tranny at all? Also i am using a th 350 converter that came from a th 350 tranny that was previously on the motor. ( the 350 tranny bolted right up no problems)
any help at all would be great. thanks -Dom
