well i just put my a4ld tranny back onto the truck and i did not remember to buy and install a new bellhouseing gasket. and i think it had brought the tranny closer to the engine and my converter is closer and the flywheels attaching nuts didnt tighten. do you think i can just put washers on the flywheel nuts and call it good or is it going to screw up everything else like length. thanks
