2) Is the Converter different from the original trans to the Legacy trans? Does it need to be changed?
They were asking me those questions because they can't understand why a new flex plate would crack in less than a year.
They did say my differential bearing cups are leaking and the O-rings need replacing. They were unable to remove them because they were damaged from the previous mechanic. He said they need to be cracked to be removed while the Trans is out. Does this sound correct?

The dowels are the same.
And you can use an SVX torque converter with any 4EAT automatic transmission.
HOWEVER, you CAN NOT use a Legacy torque converter with a SVX transmission!
"They did say my differential bearing cups are leaking and the O-rings need replacing. They were unable to remove them because they were damaged from the previous mechanic. He said they need to be cracked to be removed while the Trans is out."
I am not sure how to respond to THAT!
Generally leaking O-Rings, in a system NOT under pressure, would only seep.
At $11.00 a quart for Mobil1 fully synthetic, it would take you 100 years to spend the money that they want for this repair.
