ok, so heres my situation, I just got my new motor (7m) and tranny (auto) fully installed and ready to fire up the motor cranked really slow and took me qute awhile to figure out what was happening. Turns out that my flywheel was somhow scraping on my oil pan as you can see by the circular scratches in the pic below...new after taking the tranny off the flywheel was on the correct side but was not seated 100%. I bolted it back up and made sure it had a secure seat and I could rotate the motor fine with it no where near touching the pan.
Now this is my main question, on the spacers for the auto, what one goes inbetween the flywheel and the crank, and what one goes between the flywheel and the bolt heads? One of the spacers is completely flat where the other one has a small lip on it. I want to make sure I get this done perfect this time because in no way do I want to pull the tranny twice in one week.

thanks

the one without the lip goes between the flexplate and the crank, the one with the lip goes on the side with the torque converter with the lip up and the bolts through it...
