i did a th350 swap into my t/a and was wondering why it would not move. If i do not use the adapter plate will i need to shim my converter? if so how do i do this? people have told me the adapter plate is a waste of money but i dont know. The problem is i bolted up the th350, all 5 bolts, and the motor will not turn over by myself turning the crank. I figuered it has to be a clearence issue between the pump on the transmission to the converter, or either it is a shimming issue. All help would be greatly appreciated, and if i have to shim my yank converter i would like to know the best way to do this. Thanks Everybody.

The converter isn't engaged in the pump. Lucky you didn't crack the trans housing.
Never use the bolts to draw the trans to the engine.

Is the driveshaft in the back of the trans and is it in park just asking to make sure?

Trying to understand this, why do you ask?

i didnt use the bolts to mate the tranny to the motor but before i put the tranny in i put the converter on the pump and then put them into the car together? think maybe it slid of the splines and thats the problem? thank you

I would take the converter bolts out and see if it spins, if not loosen the tranmission to engine bolts.

So you started the car and it won't go? or the motor won't turn over?

did the converter spin freely after bolting the trans on? before bolting the bolts on the converter?
