I think you're on to something. Aren't you supposed to bolt the torque converter to the flex plate AFTER the motor/trans are bolted together?
"The motor turned over just fine by hand while I was bolting the torque converter to the flexplate. Then, we installed the engine, and I proceeded to hook everything up. " You can bolt the TC on first but then it is sometimes hard to line up the splines and or the flats on the TC with the tranny input shaft and trans pump. Does the Miata auto TC have flats that engage the trans pump like other cars? If so, he might have damaged his pump. _______________________________________________ Miatapower mailing list [email protected] http://list.miatapower.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/miatapower
