I put in a TCI flexplate. It has pads at the TC lug area that are about 7mm thick. I didn't use the stock TC bolts. Think they were 15mm long though. Checked all that out before I put it in. They torqued up and didn't bottom out.

It's the same noise I had before the the tranny swap that I thought was flexplate, TC or tranny pump. Turns out it wasn't it appears.
