It's just as you say, I don't like to complain and b*itch about everything, but unfortunately it's a "$hit happens moment" but at least make a product that doesn't out right fail. It's a pain in the @$$ enough of getting the tranny out. (First time pulling the tranny again lol) Huge respect to...

I plan on that, most likely. At this point I'm considering getting a step 1 lower Torque converter, the current one is a 2000 stall, woke up the 361. but I've got horrible mileage now. Somewhere about 1800 stall sounds close to factory and probably good enough for a daily driver. MPG's were...

Hi Black sheep, I was just telling Dave here that I've had my suspicions on the Torque converter, but didn't want to jump to conclusions. But unfortunate as it is trans needs to come back out and may just put the original time tested Torque converter back in.

Hi Dave, correct. This is a pushbutton A727, so it's got the rear pump and I am using the filter that has the 2 intake ports on it. The shiny bits of glitter and other foreign matter is in fact aluminum, none of the debris is sticking to the magnet, the magnet that was in the pan was pretty...

Apologies and thank you for your patience, had some trouble with the usual backordered transmission filter. NOW, back in the pan again, less shavings in the pan when i dropped few weeks back. Same good fluid color & smell, small fuzzies on the magnet. Filter looks to be partially clogged...

Sucks that the transmission will be eternally shelved, but it has found a new lease in life with the TorkLite. Patent pending! Lol Regarding Whether the torque converter may or truly is going out or not, I don't have a clue on troubleshooting Bad or failing torque converters. I guess just...

Appreciate the feedback, another gentleman @Dave6T4 also said problem with the torque converter.

Hello there. Would you suspect maybe not clean enough workspace which may have allowed shavings from the case blueprinting process? Thank you for the input,, I'll keep tabs on this matter with dropping the pan and giving the occasional health check. Also, another question, the planetaries...

Hi there apologies for the long post, TLDR. Yes I have got a new Torque converter from Hughes performance torque converters. Part number #19-20. Regarding the lines, I'm temporarily running rubber high pressure hoses routing from transmission to the radiator then the auxiliary cooler then to...

No, I didn't want to disturb the "pile" to see whether the shavings pile was indeed growing. Present day: pan has been cleaned out with some advice from FCBO. Will drop the pan soon as it's almost time again.

No more upshifts, I'm out of all the gears I can use! Pushbutton A727 on this jalopy.

Just thought I should update with my results of WOT on the engine, heard the engine tapping out/rev limiting at 5500. Unknown speed, probably not fast enough. Like @flyingfeathers has said, it's playing with fire, I think I heard some form of valve float but it was indeed my first time pushing...

(This is a copy & paste from FCBO) Hello and well met. It's been 200 or so miles after I rebuilt the Pushbutton A727 and have dropped the pan multiple times to check the health of the transmission. The shavings in the pan are silver in color. (planetary gears/bushings?) Is the amount of...

As someone else has said previously, it's got a factory emergency shut off switch. XD

Crazy story, they don't build them like they used to! Impressive endurance, couldn't blow them up even if you tried!
