The Flywheel is bolted to the rear of the crankshaft, now the torque converter is bolted from the front of the flywheel to the converter.
Probably the front pump is loose-if not stabbed properly the tranny w/n bolt up to the engine.

Suggested Repair
Confirm the flywheel is bolted to the rear of the crankshaft and the torque converter is bolted to the front of the flywheel. The grinding is likely from a loose or improperly seated transmission front pump; reseat the pump so the transmission bolts up correctly to the engine.
Conversation Summary
The owner asked whether the flywheel was installed backwards because the torque converter was grinding against the ATF pump housing. The expert explained that the flywheel bolts to the rear of the crankshaft and the torque converter bolts to the front of the flywheel, and said the front pump is probably loose or not properly seated, which would keep the transmission from bolting up correctly to the engine.
