During installation of my aod into my vehicle listed above with a 302, I noticed as I spin the motor over the weight of the explicate is catching the separator plate and will cause damage if I were to attempt running it. I've pulled the transmission back out and is still catching . All of the right parts are being used a 50 ounce offset flex-plate and the aod separator plate
