I think I cracked the hub on my convertor again, this will be the second time I have done so. When I stand on the throttle, and bring the car up through the gears, it starts dumping trans fluid out of the bell housing. The car did this a few months ago, and cracked the hub on the convertor, where the hub meets the convertor body (the side that goes into the trans pump). Before this happened, I could drive the car all day around town with light throttle, so it happened when went full throttle. I have not had the trans out yet to verify this is what happend again, but i'm pretty sure thats the case. The only thing I can think of is that the block was line bored at one point in its life. When I built this motor, I did not check crank runout, basically first motor build ever and did not know to do so. I think I have a good idea of how to check it now, but are there any other ideas as to why I keep cracking convertor hubs??? If I didn’t make this clear enough to understand the problem, ask and I will clarify.
