    What is going on with this Flexplate? Out of round and bent? Yikes...

    I was just trying to help you out. I have a Cadillac transmission that needs getting rebuilt and I was checking on it and wanted to ask about this set up. I see guys going to the 700R on the CUCV's. Back 20 years ago. Everyone was buying the CUCV TH400 from me as fast as I could get them in and...

    I cannot answer that. I will call Minetree transmission in Myerstown PA. So I will ask if it should have washers. He said NO that is NOT right. It should NOT have washers. Also if it has a 3 bolt torque converter it should have a 3 bolt flex-plate. He said that the 700R flex-plate has no weight...

    Look in the parts manual. No washers shown there. I never put any washers on any flex-plates of the CUCV's I worked on. I have changed quite a few flex-plates.

    I must be doing it all wrong. I never used any washer to maintain any gap between the torque converter and the flex-plate. I always replaced the 6 short M10 bolts with new ones and never used them over because of the locking material that is imbedded in the threads. I bought a box of 50 from...

    That's NOT good. That will need to be corrected. I would think that the converter with 3 holes would be clocked differently and NOT line up with any of the diesel flex-plate holes. I never tried so I don't know. Good Luck. I hope for an easy fix. But I am doubtful. Report back. Happy Holidays.

    The 6.2 diesel has 6 - M10 bolts from the torque converter to the flex-plate. I also believe the torque converter is internally different since the diesel engine does not run as high of RPM's as a gasoline engine. I am no expert on the subject. Lets see what Rusty Stud has to say. Happy Holidays.

    How about cracked flex plate at the rear of the crank? Have you checked that? The ring gear will not be a perfect circle.
