Yeah that would be great!! I did put a new tranny cooler on it and new lines.. could it just not be circulating?

 

IDK. Need to think about this one

 

is it possible that the torque converter is jammed to tight against the ring gear? also when i removed the shifter i didn't replace the linkage on the right side that runs into the steering column. I only installed the actual shift linkage..

 

My friend thats a tranny tech told me to remove the bolts to the torque converter and so if i can push the TQ back and i should be able the hear a click. He said if i can't budge it then it prolly came loose of the pump.. sound right? thanks so much for the help!!

 

would make a ton of noise and leak fluid out the bell housing

 

i don't mean the bolts that hold the TQ onto the tranny, i'm talkin about the bolts that bolt it to the ring gear

 

the 4 little ones

 

yes I know what you are talking about. But when the tc is bolted to the ring gear aka flywheel it is floating on the input shaft seal and floating on the input shaft that drives the pump. If the tc was cocked or miss aligned when the bell housing was tightened it would make a lot of noise. If you loosen the 4 bolts the tc should move back and forth with ease and you should hear the "clunk" of it doing so. If you loosen the bolts and it doesn't move(tc) then the pump drive gear is miss aligned with the drive notches on the tc.

 

Yeah that sounds like what my friend was telling me, you explained it much easier though ok so say that is my problem and the pump and TQ are not lined up, what then? Do i have to remove it and align or can i do while in place?? please say in place!! pretty please

 

even with sugar on top , the only way would be to pull back the trans and realign the tc, but you would more than likely have to change the input seal as well.

 

That's what he said to :-/ lol would that explain my problem? I mean does that sound like thats it?

 

Yes, if not low on oil the only thing left is a pump that is not being turned

 

well i guess it could be worse... I just hate doin the same crap twice.. well i will have to snag a friend and drop this baby out yet again and see what we can see..

 

whats involved in re-aligning it?

 

you just have to rotate the tc back and forth and gentle push in at the same time until the tc drops into the trans bell housing all the way. believe me you will be able to notice when it does. It will end up like at least and 1 1/4 behind the edge of the bell housing flange
