LQ9 4L80E converter spacing?
I've got an 02 lq9, and a 96 4L80E, I got it fired up, trans topped off and it started leaking ATF from what appeared to be the pump seal.
Pulled trans today, got a new seal, but before I throw it all together I wanted to confirm my spacer is correct.
My setup, is as follows.
Crank
Flex plate
Spacer
Then converter.
As it sits, the converter gets pulled maybe 1/4 into the flex plate, but it's not forced onto it.
So, that correct? And seal was bad, or did I set it up incorrectly....
Thanks in advance

Alright, put it all back together..
Replaced the seal. Here's the gap between converter and flexplate converter fully seated.
Then the same pic, but with some grade 8 washers between the converter and flexplate.
I put it together like this, broke the engine in, and drove the truck around the yard yesterday.. No leaks. Guess the seal was bad, or the converter was just a hair too far out.
