But in a certain sense I already checked it before I slid the trans back. After removing the flexplate bolts, the TC easily slid back the ~1/4 inch away from the flexplate. This created that gap again between the TC and the flexplate. (This video shows the gap, before I took anything else apart again. Note: it might look/sound like I am forcing the prybar in there, but I am just struggling to get the right angle) So I will measure the distances, and I will see if I can get the TC to move to an ever deeper seated position. But, even if I could get the TC to seat deeper, it will ultimately be made to move forward toward the motor again when I reinstall the flexplate to TC bolts. So I don't understand how seating the TC deeper could help. |

Re: 4.44 Swap Finished; Complete with horrible problematic sound
Which torque converter and input shaft did you use? I noticed in your picture of the outback converter that it is the larger converter like the SVX converter with 2" lugs. I've never had one in my hands but I think I remember seeing in the torque converter catalog that there is a converter like that with a different # of splines on the turbine and input shaft.
Maybe if it turns out the groove on the outside of the converter case was pre-existing consider the possibility that the input shaft doesn't match the turbine in the converter and is pushing the turbine into the stator destroying the converter and making a grinding noise with the engine running but the case/impeller is properly engaged in the pump rotor so that the case turns smoothly when you turn it by hand? I'm not saying that's it..I'm just throwing it out there because I remember something about there being a converter that looks like the SVX converter with the larger diameter and larger lugs that uses a different input shaft. |

Re: 4.44 Swap Finished; Complete with horrible problematic sound
I have seen some weird things on cars, but the sound in your video sounds like a bad bearing. I would disconnect your drive belts to try an eliminate any sounds from rotational objects. If you have an aluminum bat lying around it makes for an awesome stethoscope.
