Stock Torque Converter Failure here! Updated

[Tommy V]

I bet if you had any sitting in stock that Tommy could get in before the 27th, he would buy it.

That would be true but I would need a guarantee!!!

Man that sucks. Overnight one, only takes a couple hrs to pull the trans. No excuse for missing the 27th..

That's the problem putting it in,getting one in less then 2 weeks does not seem possible.If u hear anything let me know.

I had my circle d installed and car running inside of 3.5 hours.. Biggest thing was getting trans cleaned out and flushing cooler..

I meant to say the problem was getting the converter in a couple days,I have done quite a few auto and manual trans In these cars.Last auto took about 4 hours in and out.

We have 2 stocks converters sitting so Tommy won’t miss the 27th. He just needs to figure it out.

You will be crazy to put a stock converter back in that car, There are some vendors who keep a few converters in stock, I was in a similar predicament and needed on asap luckily Weir Racing had mine I got it 3 days after purchase. Circle D 4C, They also had some 2Bs in stock for turbo guys..

I think we need to get it out sooner than later so we know for sure what’s going on. We all hope it’s just the converter but until the trans is out, it could be anything.

I know I would love to take it out today but theirs no.way I chance driving it to my shop and if I'm going to use my neighbors lift I want to be in and out in a day.if it turns out to be more then the convertor I can push it back to my house.I started it up.again yesterday and neutral was quiet as a mouse,put it in gear reverse or drive and the convertor is locked up,just stalls the engine.So I'm pretty sure it's the convertor.

Wow! First broken 6R80 that I have heard of. Keep us posted on the damage once you open it up.

My friend broke his input shaft in his 11 when he was at the WFC Bowling Green this year.

It takes some serious torque to break the input shaft, like 800+

So, with my Circle D 3C I'm good? Never roll raced before. I don't plan on it.
