Would not remove the outer cover, unless you really want to wrestle with the converter.
That groove does not look too bad I'm thinking a Speedi-sleeve will work good on it, a little Loctite might now hurt either.Loctite has a few shaft repair compounds that will work with a Speedi-sleeve. It depends on how big the gap you have to fill is.

That'll work...........I have a guy prepping that gouged area for flame spraying using metallizing wire, a repair we commonly use on seal areas on rotating shafts. Then it will be machined back to size, and better than new.

Did you perchance check the alignment of the engine side drive flange vs the converter input flange beofree installing the pucks..? Nothing's going to take pucks out faster than misalignment.Finally got the old lip seal out last weekend and installed the new one. The torque converter drive flange sure has some slop on the input shaft. It wobbles around more than I like until the rubber biscuits are installed. Not much can be done about that.
