Yeah, when I read that I was scratching my head too ! You "NEVER" need to add shims to the torque converter unless something is seriously wrong !

No, I think "don't screw it up" just about covers it !

You won't know for sure until you remove the transmission. I still believe they never got it into the crankshaft correctly, or it is the wrong torque converter and will not fit the pilot hole.

For those who want to know, all Chevy gas engines are all internally balanced except the 400 and 454 engines. Also the newer generation 1 piece rear seal engines are also externally balanced. All the diesel engines where also externally balanced. Including the 6.2 you have here.

This is the flexplate you need. http://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/gmc,1988,jimmy,6.2l+379cid+v8+diesel,1156508,transmission-automatic,flexplate,8608 . I told you earlier that the 6.2 diesel has an "external" balanced flexplate. You could have just used the original TH400 flexplate and elongated...

Any of the 3 bolt mount converters where for "light" duty only. The internals on all the 6 bolts units had brazed fins. This 6 bolt design was originally designed for the AT540 Allison . One of the tricks in the day was to use it for high torque trucks behind the TH400's . Then the factory...

Are they the 6 bolt ones ? and how much do you want for one ?

These are pictures of a torque converters nose (snout) that must fit into the end of the crankshaft. All torque converters are aligned this way, even the big "Allisons" . This torque converter is for a Chrysler 440 .

Another thing it could be is the torque converter nose or "snout" that aligns in the crankshaft. If this is the wrong size then it would not "index" correctly with the flexplate. There are "bushings" you can buy for under sized noses that are pressed into the crankshaft. Or there could have been...

The GM 6.2 and 6.5 diesels are all externally balanced. If the shop replaced the factory flexplate (which it looks like they did) then they probably replaced it with a regular Chevy "Gas" engine which are all "internally" balanced. The factory flexplate should have 6 mounting holes for the...
