My 904 pulled from a 318 question

???? What are you wasting??? The perfectly good torque converter is being used behind a weighted flex plate?

• It's perfectly ok to weld weights on the TC. This is smart if it's a one and done deal. Cost savings.
• It's also perfectly ok to buy a balanced flex plate. That way that perfectly good TC can be used behind a perfectly good 318, 340, 360, 408, 410, 416, or buy a better perfectly good TC that's neutral balanced and it will work behind that balanced flexplate.... make sense??? It doesn't mean folks are lazy..... LOL.. sometimes it means they are smart :D

Yea I get what your saying. That makes sence.
The wasting I was referring to was if you have a perfectly good flex plate and tc it seems like a waste of 50 bucks to buy a new flexplate. But like said I see both sides. :D
