I recently removed the original engine from my '96 960 to replace it with one with 20k miles on it. (Factory reconditioned) I am reusing the original flex plate, torque converter, and transmission from my 960.
Now that the old engine is out, I am in the process of mounting the original transmission with the new motor. For some reason, the flex plate keeps hitting the back of the engine block and I am wondering if anyone has tips on refitting the engine with the transmission.
I have tried fitting the transmission two ways; once with the torque converter still attached to the flex plate, and a second way where the torque converter is seated inside the transmission bell housing, fitting the transmission is fitted to the back of the engine, then attaching the bolts through the flex plate to the torque converter.
Thanks in advance!
