one more question, do you have a stock dipstick or a "custom" dipstick?

No not unless I really rev it up. That is the only way I can get the wheels to turn at all. Forward or reverse just a little harder in reverse. 1. no trash in pan2. fluid not burnt 3. have pressure in high gear at idle 4. only moves when revved up in all gears. = converter is broken Joe Fluid is in perfect condition , Have pressure in high gear and only moves when revved up. I hope you are right because I am so damn tired of pulling this thing out. LOL Sending Converter to Dynamic Converters Monday !!! Fingers crossed it don't cost me an arm and a leg.. I am broke..

If you installed the normal amount of fluid as usual and now you show too much on the stick then the converter is not full. The torque converter conteol valve fills the converter but you said you installed another valve body. And you said you had good cooler flow earlier in your post.
If you pull the trans check the converter. It's probably partially full - will give you exactly the condition you complain of.
Something's being missed, things are not adding up.

I did put way more than the amount of fluid the transmission calls for and it was way overfull. When I pulled the transmission out and turned the converter over a lot of fluid came out. Don't know how much the converter holds but it had a lot of fluid in it.

Thank you for your reply but wouldn't that have been an issue as soon as I tried to move the car ? I had put about 5 or better miles on it and it was working fine and when I went to make a pass it would move at all until I revved it up.Just all of a sudden nothing ??

LOL. It's funny though , for all the crap these cars give us I have never thought of giving up. Just suck it up and hopefully get another pass or two..

Thanks for clarifying. Have your transmission tech, check for the seals on the rollerized componets. The leakage causes the symptoms you are describing. Most roller supports don't have seals and leakage at the lube system wouldn't account for the normal line pressure tested at the front servo.

I have only installed seal included output shaft supports for customers using roller low reverse drums, hence, I can't comment on other types of designs. A racer friend called me, telling me that he had to apply more than usual throttle, to get the car to creep forward. I wasn't involved with the build, so we went through the flow chart. Knowing he is anal, I started wondering what we missing. The answer was unsealed torringtons. Once corrected, the trans was fine. Since I wasn't there, I have no idea what test pressures were, or weren't showing at the servos.

Another 400.00 shot in the butt over a converter that checked out fine. The guy at Dynamic said to check the reaction shaft behind the pump to see if the plugs came out ???? What the heck is that ? Help !!!
