Just bought a 97 gst with a 6bolt swap already done. I bought the car with a grinding noise while attempting to start the car but started after grind. Once starter the car ran great. Well the starter went on me so I rebuilt that and while that was off I decide to attempt to take the tranny off. Not a good idea, being my first auto and not having the right tools I eventually screwed myself and unbolted the tranny mounts and the bell housing from the block without removing the flexplate bolts. The bell housing came off the block about a half inch while the torque converter was still attached to the flexplate. I attempted to mount the tranny back up and spin the converter to remove the rest of the flexplate bolts however the converter will not spin. Is the converter bound on something or did the converter twist out? Any help would be great. Thanks
