Installed new 4L60E and clunkc clunk clunk Looks like the piece of the converter (Vig3600) that the bolt goes into (flexplate and converter join) is hitting something in the bellhouse..
I crank it over and I hear a clunking, lifted it up and you can see paint coming off the outmost part of the converter (at the edges where the bolt goes) , so it looks like something is wrong , either converter is too big or bell housing is too small , but just by a tiny bit
Anyone experience this? Sound like a big problem or just manufacturing tolerances not tight enough?
I'm pulling the tranny AGAIN tomorrow to check it out more

Cant say as I have heard of that one though i have seen a little bracket get caught between the bell and the engine make a sound like that.

i'll be checking that out tomorrow when I pull it down again, I didn't notice it occuring by hand but I can only spin the flexplate about 2 RPM lol
If I hookup a remote starter to it, not as loud (since it's not hitting as often) but you can hear something hitting

all I have to say is f***ing ARP Torque Converter bolts!
I have a TCI flexplate... torque converter bolts are too tall! (washer and head) so they were hitting on the inside... put OEM back ina nd all fixed!
