As i said in a earlier post that I had taken the new converter out and sent it back to Jason at Quickdraw to have it re stalled a little higher, so I put the lod TCI in to make a few run's just for a comparison but right off the bat the front seal started to leak, so I pulled it back out to replace the seal and decided to just give up on my plan and decided to just wait for the converter to come back,,so while it was out and laying under the car on the jack I attempted to put the new seal in but was having trouble getting it started so I just pulled the tranny out from under the car and thats when I found it,,,,a crack half way around the case where the bellhousing mold's into the main gear case  you have got to be kidding me,, now I have to build another tranny between now and Norwalk and hope I do it right so their aren't any issues,,just what I wanted to do.  here's the first pic.

Be thankful, that you found it before a catastrophe. That failing on the track could have been life threatening.
However I do understand the frustration.

Your telling me,,it was just a stroke of luck that I found it, yes I have another case and will start tomorrow getting it prepped to transferr my good part's over to it,,, the funny thing is it appears that it has been cracked this way for some time and what ever kept it from dumping it's guts is beyond me.

Had the same thing happen here..
Had a bad vibration in the car that no one could find. The trans was out and getting ready to go back in and I was using a screw driver to scrape some junk off of it and found it. We had this vibration for 2+ months before that..
funny you should say that, I had a vibration that mysteriously went away early in the season at CC Events @ National trails, but I was also fighting rocker issues then too.

I've seen that one other time Bill... it actually cracked all the way around... the trans worked but had a BAD clunking sound and a bad vibration... the only way I noticed it was I put the jack under the pan to lift it to see if the trans mount was bottoming out but the front lifted instead of the rear... I still dont know what caused it

Now THAT'S scarey!!
I think the converter was the only thing that was
holding up the front
I have done it before lmao, mine had an inch before it was all the way broke. I did what your doing, transfering guts to another case. Get a 200buck clutch kit and be done for another few years. Or atleast check em with a feeler guage to see where it's at.

I just freshened this one up this spring and it was working great, but I will go thru the clutches and stuff just to make sure.
DoubleD, I run a motor plate and limiters but with a stock rubber tranny mount, I know about the Turbo 400's having this issue and so do the stock powerglide's.

Bill, if you can't get it done, I have a fresh CRT trans sitting on the shelf. Never installed, waiting for a project that will never happen. You can use it if in a pinch. it was built for an 850 HP heavy car, so it's a great piece.

I've seen 2 904's do this - 1 had been extensively cleaned up to remove all the casting seams, etc. and had a lot of material removed in that area; the other was a stock case. Both of them cracked after other driveline parts failed and the driveline unloaded under full power.

well the tranny's back together and I am waiting to pick up the converter in the morning, I did have a front U joint that was loose and I replaced it and the driveshaft had been balanced and no weights are missing, It all go's back in thursday and hopefully I can test it out saturday at Pacemaker's.

Sorry to hear this Bill. At least you caught it before Norwalk.
I hope I see you there.

Glad to hear you got it all back together... lacking the install
Well Mike the install is complete, Walt and I put it in this morning and fired her up and all seem's to be good, I hope so cause I may not get to test this weekend and the last chance is Norwalk.
