1995 Ram 1500 torque converter question
I ordered what I thought was the right converter for my truck after pulling the trans and checking the code (878) the one I ordered is code 514.
After comparing the specs on both these converters I can find the only difference seems to be one tooth on the flywheel ring 130 vs 131 teeth.
My question is will the one I have work or should I send it back for the other there are applications where the 878 or the 514 will work just not sure If I can get away with it in my trans.
Thanks in advance

One more or one less tooth will effect the pitch, so it will not match starter, and eventually, one or both will get chewed. I would return to vendor and get correct one.
Spline may be differnet as well.
Who did you get it from? Shipping may be a killer, but seller should eat that if it was their mistake.
