I might have bitten off too much here. I decided to try and change out the rear main seal on my '87 wagon. I haven't really had too much trouble with it until closing it back up. After bolting the automatic transmission back on, the flywheel is scraping the inside of the housing, seems to be toward the top. I mounted the tranny twice. The first time, the torque converter didn't seat back in the bell housing. The second time, everything seemed to go well, and the alignment looked good, so I bolted it all down. When I put a wrench on the front pulley to rotate the crank to access the flywheel bolts, the thing was dragging on the housing, scraping off flakes of aluminum. It's not REAL hard to turn but I'm wondering why it's doing any scraping at all. Have I done something completely wrong, or is it just a matter of loosening the transmission bolts and trying to push it up a little while tightening them? Anyone run into this before?
