Hello you say that you installed a trans & converter recently & are having problems...Have you contacted the builder ?
Did the same shop build both units, or build the trans & supply you with someone else's converter...1/4 is a bit over spec for flexplate to converter clearance ...1/8 is the called for spec.........you may be OK with that, but you are not getting into your pump gears as far as I would like..I would take it back to the shop that built it & show him how it drives & the noise.. Most shops give you at least a 1 year warranty, some up to 3 years...............Donnie
