Re: Torque Converter was the problem I believe!

Well.......the TC was reassembled with proper torque settings applied. The front seal was also replaced, but my pal Tom really didn't think it was too bad. He firmly believes that the loosely tightened outer shaft to TC was the real culprit!


Well, the transmission was reinstalled and I began to hold my breath! We kept it up on the stands and fired the car. I moved it through the gears and everything seemed to be in order. I also let into run in gear for (25) minutes and noticed no leaks or anything unusual. The car was then put on the ground and we took it for a ride.

Wow! She performed nicely. Better than anytime before! We stopped and peaked underneath again..........no leaks.......Drive it some more and topped out at 60 mph (I didn't have my ID or license with me) and drive it home. Still no leaks and I now have all gears & PARK!

I'm relieved and I plan on going to that car show next weekend.

back to the 92k transmission. Anyone ever see a TC that bad before? What causes this to happen?

Okay....post away....... I'm done for now!
