I am changing the transmission in my '93' Grand Cherokee. was told there is a spacer that goes between the torque converter and the drive plate. didn't see one when I took the old trans. out. There is no mention of a spacer in my Haynes manual, buthave found that I connot torque the drive plate bolts
The Flywheel needs to match the engine. The sensor ring gives the proper signal for the spacific engine computer controls. Was this a used transmission? and what was it out of? is this 4WD? and what year? Does the trans have all the same connctors? If the torque converter doesn't match then it is possibly for different engine or year. The flwheel sensor ring did change on different years.
You need torque converter to match.
Yes that is correct. I wanted to know which it was from. Also look closely at the style of connectors and pin count. I think it should be the same, but I remember some changes in style of connectors but I think it did that in 96. The correct torque converter should do the trick. Good luck and let me know how it works.

wonderdad195, thanks for your response, I have also verified with acouple other people that the spacer does not exist and that was my question. I have a new problem. After I bolted the new trans to the engine I found out the bolt holes for the flywheel and the torque converter don't up in any position. I pulled the trans and the flywheeland set the torque converter on the floor with flywheel on top of it and the two don't match up. the jeep is a '93' and the trans is out of a '95'. do I buy a flywheel that matches or a new torque converter?
wonderdad195, thanksfor the help. Just to clairify, this is a used tranny. Its out of a '95' Grand Cherokee. Mine is a '93' Grand Cherokee Ltd. it is 4WD the conectors are all the same. Your saying I need a new torque converter to match my rig right?
Please clarify the "connot torque". There is not a spacer between the torque converter and flywheel. Once the trans is bolted to the engine the torque converter should spin easily so you can line up the bolt holes. If it doesn't spin you may not have the torque converter lined up with the trans oil pump correctly. That can easily shift out of position while maneuvering the trans around. I,ve seen that happen a few times. Usually the trans is shipped with a plate retainer holding the torque in place so that doesn't happen in shipping.
