that is about right....turn the converter back n forth...and see if you hear a clak clak noise...that is hub on the converter hitting the tits on the pump....you are seated and if you had no clearance your converter is not seated..
I lost you at the end there, so he needs to pull converter to flex plate and bolt up? That's what I did as I had same gap. I hope that's right or I have a long weekend ahead of me taking tranny back out.
