If the torque converter is seated correctly after that transmission has been mounted to the engine block, then there should be an approx. 1/8” gap between the contact points on the converter and flex plate. Pull the torque converter forward to the contact points, ensure the torque converter spins in this position and then mount it.
Before I put the torque converter on, I noticed there were two little metal squares all the way in the back of the input shaft. Are those just for guidance, and if so would that be the reason it doesn't spin freely?

Thanks NGN
