Well you have a billet converter which was rated higher than the trans. Sucks they didn't find the source of the problem..It sounds like trans just failed like you said..

No torque management. And it’s tuned for full converter lockup at WOT so IDK if I should change that. Might be too much with AWD.

Warranty will be up in 6 months and I’m too old to be pulling transmissions. If I was younger and the warranty was lifetime then maybe but even then it’s not worth it. It needs to stay fixed.So long as they're warranty-ing it eff changing it...

Ok guys so I just had an idea. Since I can’t seem to get shims (washers) installed between the flexplate and the converter and Im sure the distance will again be more than 3/16”, can’t I shim the flexplate by installing them between the flexplate and crank? I’m thinking Ill just use 1/16” shims and that will make the flexplate to converter measurement fall between 1/8- 3/16. That should be the same effect correct?
