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 ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif)

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. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/1343795-scratchchin.gif)

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.

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. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/luck.gif)

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. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh2.gif)
