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.

---

bet it ain't a 904 tho, thanks for the offer Rich,,,the new one is a work in progress as I got the case prepped today and will be assembling tomorrow if all go's well with the gut's from the broken one.

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.

---

Thanks Vic, don't worry I will be there, fresh tranny, fresh converter and all tuned up, and ready for 10.00000's again.

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.
