Ok the guy that built the tranny was able to take the tranny apart today. He found a cracked pressure plate and all of the valve body bolts finger loose or backed out a couple threads. He said the pressure plate most likely cracked because of heat and the loose bolts on the valve body didn't matter he said it didn't have to be a perfect seal. The filter was full as stumpy said with a bunch of finely ground up aluminum. He said it was the torque converter that went bad and caused the problem. What do you guys think ?????
If it would work with loose bolts, Mother Mopar would not ask for 35 inch pounds of torque on them. Plate warpage was due to fluid pressing on an unsupported plate. IMHO he forgot to tighten the screws.
