trans or converter prob!

well i have an ati 727 that gets freshened every off season,i recently had the converter loosened and reinstalled..car sat with no testing for a month.I was driving today and 2 miles from home,noise from the front of the trans!! clanking etc..made it home trans shifted fine..off to B1JOHNNY it goes

and yes it has fluid lol in it!

Say it ain't so!!

Did the converter bolts come loose?

Cracked flexplate.....

Look at the converter bolts and then the flexpalte

might go with the cracked flex as well ,, but it could be that the front bearing is spinning in the front pump to

Usually when its a flex plate when you get on it and
let off it makes a noise but the bolts tend to make the
noise all the time... and the noise gets worse

i will check all of the above,should be easy being i dont have a dust shield the thing that stinks is i didnt even get to flash the converter and see if the stall is 5500 which with pro torque is usualy dead on! thanks boys

had one that left me stranded once.. It was the front pump tangs the mesh with the converter to drive the fluid.

well she was fine..before i pulled the converter,we put a moroso deep pan(to lose a few lbs) and we put the conv back in after having it loosened..(im thinkin my brother) didnt tighten something properly (bolts) flex plate or conv we shall see

well pulled the drive shaft and checked universial jt,checked bolts for conv,then dumped trans fluid..kinda looked metallic flake..off to b1johnny he will open in front of me shortly!!! awesome guy how many tranny builders let u watch so i will have the answer shortly..hope its not the converter

prob found in the trans,rear gov supp i think its called...well kinda melted..looks like lack of trans fluid..well with the help of b1 she'll be better,stronger, when he's done its getting some rollerized stuff and a steel drum..so i keep my foot

I have a freind who had a similar problem on melting the rear roller support whiichs ends up hurting other parts The cause was a misalignment of the shifter cable and the cure is proper adjustment of the shifter Make sure the shaft on the shifter cable end slides easily into the shifter arm in all the forward gears, 1st,2nd and high gear If you don't it(the manual valve in the valve body that does ths fluid routing) will restrict the amount of fluid under pressure to the trans and through the trans cooler Take your time and adjust it so it slides in and out easily in those gars, it should drop right in If it does on some and not all adjust the cable in the holding bracket to get it aligned properly, there is usually only ONE place will it will be correct for all three gears You can do it, take your time and be picky
