The first laminated flex plate I got pushed the TC into the pump. Make sure when you bolt the trans up, that the TC still has clearence and isn't in a bind.
The TC needs to be able to slide back and forth at least 1/8" after bolting the trans up/before bolting the TC to the flexplate. IF you have that you are good to go.
I have that one, and it should've been shimmed in my truck, thats been quite awhile ago and it seems ok.
Shim is layin in the shed waiting installation.
