Yes the separator plate is needed for spacing( converter to flywheel). It's possible to jam the converter into the flywheel if the plate isn't used. always check when bolting the trans to the engine, that the converter isn't forced to the flywheel. I usally grab a converter stud and make sure it moves in the flexplate stud hole. ------------- John 75Gran Torino 4spd  |

The shield is also a pilot for the starter mount as well. ------------- John 75Gran Torino 4spd |
