thanks for all the input. that's kinda what i was thinking, just like to have someone agree with me. pulled the trans again tonight 45 mins. flat pulled the pump out and had the same problem i had to start with....the gears are pushed in too far and the little gear eats into the stator support.pulle...

Steve, the convertor is fully seated when the trans goes in and when i tighten the bell housing bolts completely there is NO wiggling the convertor, it's like it's sandwiched between the pump and the flex plate, tightly. but after some more research i think the flex plate is the culprit. Pat has one...

thanks for getting back guys... brand new convertor.rebuilt tranny. all 4 wheels are off the ground. yes, the wheels did turn(sometimes) but if i fill it up i get nothing. everything is tight and hooked up. we've had a trans in and out at least 5 times and sad to say we're gittin purdy dam good at i...

I've been putting this thing together for 8 mos now and I've got a serious hold-up......i set the truck up for a 302 and a c-6, then decided to go aod. every time i put a tranny in it won't go,as in no fluid pumping so the tires won't turn. tried to rebuild my tranny , no go, bought another tranny, ...

Steve, there's a shop here in Omaha called Industrial Plating. been told they do good work....# is 402-344-4684
address is............1149 Florence Blvd. kinda close to downtown. Jeff

couldn't get the pressures where they need to be, :cussing: starting to get pissed off @ this tranny , guess that's what i get for being frugal(cheap) this thing has fought me tooth and nail :boxing: throughout this entire build. think maybe i should have a heart to heart with the truck (and maybe s...

ended up rebuilding the tranny (with my friends help) and youtube and a motors book...............talk about something sucking the BIG one. took me 3 days to do what a tranny shop can do in two hours, got it back in tonight . had to get a torque converter also cause some metal fell out of it and i h...

well, got the headers and got the hammer :bangin: and now the headers will fit(sorta) had to move the tranny lines and then the damn thing wouldn't move. bs.jpg Talk about being bummed, :cussing: so i dropped the pan and tried a filter and fluid change.......NO luck. wasn't getting any fluid to pump...

well got the headers on the way and license plates today, had to put the bent-assed bumper on the front, gotta run a front plate so the cops will leave me alone(i hope), gonna run around the "hood" with open headers till i get everything tuned in, hope i don't piss off the neighbors too ba...

got the ol girl to move under her own power today :rocker: :woohoo: :steering: , finally got the driveshaft made and all the linkage stuff for the AOD hooked up........had to add a gallon of tranny fluid and she'll light "em up....YEE HA. still gotta get exhaust work done cause she's pretty lou...

well, it's been awhile since I've posted, so here's an update.....been doing all the piddly-assed stuff that takes forever, like tranny lines, radiator, seat, made the pieces that go around the steering column, got the dash in and realized i forgot to put a piece in( i'll get it later), hitting the ...
