Yes, we did bolt it to the flexplate. ;)
I am thinking it is not fully seated. Now that you mentioned it, I do not
recall putting it in N prior to rotating the engine to get the flexplate bolted
in. We did the first bolt, then everything moved as a unit for the remaining 3.
I am thinking.
That is what I get for relying on a manual guys expertise on an auto tranny
engine swap!
(Thanks Mark!)
I'll be pulling it out after work over the next 3 nights, and hopefully I can
get it seated properly, bolted in, and no resulting damage from this little
snafu.
