Hey guys I need help with a problem. I bought a 1998 2wd ranger xlt with an auto trans It had a blown 3.0 motor locked up so I had to pull the torque converter with the motor My problem comes when I try to bolt up the new motor. the torque converter won't set in far enough and bends the flex plate I have messed with this for hours and the torque converter seems to bottom out on the trans input shaft (marked it with spray litheim lube ) the setback measures 1.25 in+- and should be 1.6 - 1.75 in so.... any thoughts on what my problem is. I have not run the truck at all so no history available might thier be another problem with the trans? the input shaft seems fine maybe the converter is messed up? I am at a loss as to what to do any help would be great' thanks
