Lionel, good call. If a torque converter gets out of balance it can create all kinds of havoc with your transmission and even your engine. Not that a couple studs re welded into place would do that but you never know. New or rebuild units come prebalanced so all is well

I would suggest using blue Loctite on the studs and of course torque the nuts with a torque wrench. I cannot count how many loose torque converters I have seen over the years, and the elongated holes they make in the flexplates.
