you can rebuild them, it's fairly easy to do, but you need access to a metal lathe and someone who knows how to use it if the case is damaged

i put the converter on the tranny first then put the tranny in the truck...the converter has to fall into placeon the shaft and its kinda tricky cause you think its lined up but they you turn it just a smidge more and it falls all the way into place...

for clearance i have not a clue...all i know is that there was plenty of clearance..

Mine did it on a slow pull away from a stop sign. I didn't even coast all the through I was going so slow.

WOW, Looks like mine

I was in Texas for a Denali meet, was doing a WOT run and when it went into 3RD it bounced off the Rev limiter and that was all she wrote, was 1700 miles from home, but all worked out in the end.

well you want as little clearance as possible but not touching when you pull the converter up to the flexplate

there should have been 3 clicks for the t/c to fall into place
