No movement in any gear. Linkage ok. Just stopped moving when I went to turn around. No bang. No noises. Fluid moves on the stick when comparing in neutral to checking with engine shut off, so it's prob not the pump. Fluid nice and pink. Converter is an old 10" tci super street fighter that's been behind 5 or 6 of my motors. 5300 flash behind this engine...Alot hate on tci, but I loved it. My question is, Can a converter company rebuild this core?

They would have to open it up first. Check line pressure. Check the stator splines too. ok..thanks Rick

I doubt it's the converter. My bet is it broke the input shaft clutch hub. Doug Doug, is that common? I didn't think I needed a billet one at 600ish level

We run the stock one to 800-900hp. But for a converter to flat fail is unusual. The fluid changes level so it should have pump pressure. If it stripped the front planet it would still have reverse. Suppose it could've broke an output shaft. But that's even rarer. So with no gears I surmise the input hub. Doug

If it's broken anything in the transmission, I'd have the convertor gone through regardless.

10" tci super street fighter that flashes to 5300? Did you mean 3500?
In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

He said 600ish. Tci says that converter is about 3500. I suspect he just transposed the 3 and the 5.

10" tci super street fighter that flashes to 5300? Did you mean 3500? It's a *super* street fighter. It would flash to 44~4500 behind the mild smallblocks I had. This new one has more torque hence the higher flash.

Bro has the same converter and does the same thing. They are loose for 10"s I agree

most likely sheared oil pump ears, jack car up in rear as high as you can, converter will fill and wheels will start turning running in gear
all parts are sold as is, all parts are considered used no warranties or returns paypal/check/money order, shipping is from zip 02891, buyer pays paypal fees 24% IRS 1099A plus 3% of part price, check/money order preferred site is not monitored 24/7 there might be a delay in response

Check line pressure fast and easy to do. Moves fluid yea, but what is the pressure?
best so far 8.53 @ 158.59 MPH 60'1.240
