so my car is about 98% back together.

go to put the converter bolts in and the verter is pushing against the flexplate, therefor not allowing it to turn. droped the trans back down realized what was happening, fix it, and put it back up.

this is now the 2nd time in about 2 hours the trans was completly back in with everything else(tq arm, DS, ect) and now we go to do the verter bolts again. and the converter is a pain in the A.. to turn. we get the 1 bolt in, go to spin to the second and its near impossible. we went threw all the gears in the trans while the car was up on stands. the tires do not turn in park, but in R, N, D, ect.. they spin fine. when you spin the tires the DS turns fine, shaft spins fine every thing seems ok.

the flexplate spun just the way it should with the verter unbolted, but with it bolted it up(just 1 bolt trying to get to the next) it is near impossible! i cannot get this thing to spin like it should.

any idea?
