Buly,  You may be correct about the .027" error causing the = problem=20 and I hope that is true. 
But,  The key phrase here is "centered as the original = transmission=20 gear box".  Is the transmission bolt circle concentric with the=20 crankshaft?  Is the transmission input shaft concentric with the = bolt=20 circle?  They might be (I have not checked) but there is no rule=20 saying they have to be.  For example, the RX-7 starter = looks as=20 if the pinion is concentric with the starter pilot and pilot hole that = it mounts=20 in.  It is not.

Tracy,
I picked up the resurfaced assembly today, = and the=20 machinist told me 
that one end to the other of the gear box = contact=20 surface was .027 off.
I removed the original automatic transmission = gear=20 box from the 
bellhousing and replaced it with my new = mounting plate.=20 So everything 
was centered as the original transmission gear = box.=20 All the mounting 
bolt holes were match drilled. With the = extra long=20 shaft, .027  will 
give quite difference at both ends of = the=20 shaft.
I don't see anything else to check?
