Thread: Flexplate on chevy350/383stroker will not budge!

My guess would be that the torque converter isn't all the way into the pump on the transmission. Slide the trans back and turn the converter till it goes against a "stop" for the second time!!!!

Hey, good catch Dave. Pour two quarts of ATF into the converter and turn it for two "thunks".

But the torque converter spins freely and does not seem to make contact with the flexplate?

But yes, I see no other option than to un bolt the Bell housing and try to shoo away what ever gremlins are hiding there. And hopefully that will resolve it and I won't have too take another look at the rotating assembly itself!
