I got the transmission out. the torque converter lugs are exactly like you said. 3/4 inch from the front of trany flange. is there anything else that would cause the pump drive tangs to break? I can't think of anything else that would cause no pressure. It seems like a pretty simple system. but i can't seem to figure this one out.
I'm about to pull the pump out. i really hope i find something broken. I like fixing things. its not often i put things together and they don't work. Especially when they come apart and go together as planed. but this is my first 727 rebuild. I guess im doing it the hard way. hahaha.
