Many folks call the automatic flexplate/flywheel a flexplate, while the standard/stick shift is sometimes called a flywheel. In case RR reads this. What in the world is that thin spacer between the block and the tranny for? If it is left off it seems that the torque converter would slide in a little further and I guess the starter would also. Is this the reason. Why not design the converter and starter without the spacer? Let me guess, another "better idea" from ford. Just curious
