Torque converter in 350 trans - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hello does anyone know if they make different sizeTC's? I get mine fully seated and when I tighten it to the flywheel it slides forward enough to where I can fit my fingers behind it. I read that I shouldnt be able to do that. I have gone through another tranny because I didnt pay attention to this happening.

The way I check converter fit is when it is installed I check the distance between the pads and the flex plate. Should be 1/8" or so, and if larger we shim it so it only comes ahead the 1/8".

Thanks for the response. What do you use to shim it?
