I sent mine back. They are reducing the width of it but it hasn't been a quick process. I got inpatient and installed the trans with the stock flex plate.

I’m keeping an eye on mine. I did hear some faint chatter on decel low speed. Everything looks solid engine side. Witness marks are perfect. When I get to finally swap in the stage 3 converter I’ll get a look at the TC side and inner bell housing IMG 9749IMG 9751
I left the bolts at 45 lb/ft. It’s only 4 lb/ft more.

Mine bolts up and everything but from what I can tell once buttoned all up the TC rubs the flex plate bolts just enough to bind it up. Loosen all housing bolts and works perfectly. Swapped to old TC and same problem, swapped to OEM flex plate and both aftermarket and OEM TC fit. Below is pics that show the difference on how it sticks out causing those bolts to touch ever so slightly and bind up TC. So your not the only one I have the issue I emailed them I’m waiting for response.

Interesting. Mine looks to have fit in between your RP and OEM plate clearance. View attachment 97586
Mine has just enough to get it to all bolt up but once all buttoned up it won’t move it’s pressed against those flex plate bolts too much. Loosen all housing bolts a quarter turn and works perfect. I used some white out to confirm it on the Tc and where it touched. I think it’s just a hair to big/thick.

So strange. Both @bpd1151 (who got the first one made) and myself we both have a 2010. Idk if our tone rings are a different thickness
