    Torque converter id

    If the engine has sufficient torque the stall speed in the 1600-1800 range would pull better gear to gear and reduce transmission temps. If you have a hotter than stock cam and just use the Van to bomb around in, the increased stall speed would give you more oompf off the line and increase the...

    Torque converter id

    Yes, you could use the B&M flexplate for the 360 and that would solve the balance problem but not the increased stall speed issue. I would consider purchasing the correct converter for the application and using the one you have for something not requiring a weight but needing the increased stall...

    Torque converter id

    Nice palm, but what does the other half of the converter look like? The weight will usually be opposite the drain plug on these earlier converters.

    Torque converter id

    To act like what you are describing the converter would either have to be extremely modified or badly damaged, unless your trans is starting off in a higher gear instead of first. You should have noticed a bad enough engine shake to make the stall speed seem secondary if you installed a non...

    Torque converter id

    A 1975 360 will have a converter with a large triangular weight welded between two of the mounting pads. How are you determining that it has more stall speed than it should?

    Trying to figure out what this converter is

    Aftermarket, Mopar factory converters have a smooth cover, this one has fins and looks to be Ford based.

    42RE No Reverse

    Check the reverse boost valve to be sure it is free, check that there isn't a checkball restricting the separator plate feed hole for reverse. You can actually leave the check ball out of that part of the casting for more reverse apply oil.

    A dead tree blew over today & I found my oldest bottle yet. 1835-1839

    What a cool discovery! We have the remnants of an old dump on our place and it pushes colored glass and pottery fragments to the surface sometimes, but never an intact bottle and certainly never something as old as your find.

    I need to go fishing.

    Any customer that is texting you non stop when they know you are on vacation does not respect you or value you, they should be accorded the same. Those are the customers that demand the most of your time and energy and contribute the least to your bottom line. In the end, time with your family...

    A500 questions about bad torque converter

    Sounds like you may have not gotten the converter stabbed all the way into the pump and broken the gears if you have lost all ranges.

    A998 how to defeat lockup for a non lockup converter?

    Nice! Make sure the end plate is flush with the housing and also that it doesn't overlap the edge where it bolts to the main valve body, you don't want any leaks in these areas.

    What caused damage to reactor shaft

    Looks like the bearing on the stator was coming apart and chewing up the support shaft. I would imagine the remainder of that bearing went through the converter and laid some fins over causing your stall speed to change. Have the converter cut open by a converter shop and you will have your proof.

    A998 how to defeat lockup for a non lockup converter?

    Remove spring #10 and using a 5/16 rubber check ball or small piece of steel tubing block the valve from stroking against the end plate. Leave the solenoid unplugged, you are now ready.

    Front Drum - 727 Pump/Stator Support Question

    Yes, but the early one ball stator is what you are after, the two ball is for the later non lockup and requires the matching input drum with third sealing ring while the three ball is for lockup only.

    Front Drum - 727 Pump/Stator Support Question

    You can interchange pump stators and drums provided you use a stator with the same sized sealing ring bore and only one stator checkball on the gear side. You can also use a narrow bushing in a wide bushing drum though it would be advantageous to convert the stator and use the wide bushing drum...

    Trans troubles

    I would first check the second gear band adjustment, loosen the locknut, tighten the center bolt (5/16 square) till it bottoms out then back off two turns and tighten the locknut down. Having this band out of adjustment can cause both a slip out of first and a slip on a forced kickdown. Hope you...
