well, its been a month and no update, so i figured i would get to rebuilding the torque converter. took it apart only at this point. there is a HUGE difference between this new one and my old one. someone really did mess up that old one bad.

this new one has been rebuilt before, it looks practically brand new inside. you can see the other persons scratch marks, but i couldn't tell you how long ago it was rebuilt. the fluid was practically brand new, didnt' stink and the friction material was perfect.

you can see where i punched the holes to make sure i can in now way line this thing up the wrong way. you can also see the person before me scratched it to mark it.

any thoughts on how the heck i am going to get those two small bushings outa that hole. can't access it from the opposite side. (scratches head)

in the pictures with the arrows drawn.....is that normal. the pictures are of TWO seperate ones that look like that. they are exactly across from each other. if you drew a straight line it would go through them, one on each side of the part they are inclosed in. i don't remember even seeing this part in my old one.

i am going to rebuild it anyways though.

enjoy the photos of a good torque converter. more to come when i am putting it back together, but this should wet your whistle for now.

going to have to work on my f150 trans for awhile. it is acting up and i have a pressure solenoid that is going out. but, since i am in there i am going to do some improvments, such as shift kit and some upgrades to crappy factory parts that are accessible without dropping the trans. deeper pan, etc. etc. etc. basically i am using the solenoid problem as an excuse to make it nicer ;0) LOL!

enjoy the pics.
