Torque converter replaced now not moving

I agree with you, just make sure to have help so the converter doesn't slide out. I'm sure you can find a good trans shop near you. I have 3 but use just one guy for benching them. Just watch out they will upcharge you on everything. My main trans guy will do the necessary parts in his quote. A few months ago he did a 42RE $900 w/converter ready to stab in.
 
Going through the same thing here. Measured the distance from the torque converter bolt blocks to the transmission housing and it's 0.75 inches. Should be less than 0.50 inches. Looking at shim kits now.

I've never heard of shim kits for a Torque Converter. In all the transmissions i've changed you put the Converter on make sure it's all the way on the splines and pushed to the trans. Then when the trans is bolted up you pull the Converter to the flywheel and bolt it up.

Can't figure it out. Can definitely hear and see a slight disengage when I bolt to flywheel. First time it happened I proceeded with install, started up and heard grinding. Removed all again, and inspected and it had broken the inner trans pump gear. Replaced the complete pump and put it all back together, same 3/4" gap and disengage when I bolt to the flywheel....... Not starting again until i can figure out what's going on. All started as a main seal replacement. No leaks there at least:). Not
