Got the flex plate unbolted how far back should the torque converter slide? It seems to have gone back about a 1/4inch or so. Should I try and get it further back or is that good? Thank you guys for all the information provided thus far.

Just going to add a few details/questions that the old man forgot :P The car has a 727 Pushbutton trans, is there anything special that needs to be done as far as that goes other than the extra bolt that was already mentioned? Are there any other considerations like the radiator or things of...

Thanks for the info. The fluid on the dipstick is pretty clean. I was planning on dropping the pan and changing the filter anyway so hopefully there won't be any surprises.

I pulled the switch, cleaned it, and...
