My tuner said he see this a lot ...Not all that rare is what he told me and that I should be careful doing roll on races ..:doh:

This auto trans is as good as it gets in todays cars.

Wish I knew what the issue is, I find it retarded there is no drain plug on the pan to easily drain all the fluid. Trans just sitting in my shop on the floor while I try to find someone to look at everything.

Here is the fluid that came out of converter.. Metal flakes can be seen at bottom

As far as the converter goes is shit supposed to rattle around inside of it when moving it around in your hands?

That would be a NO ..

Could anything of failed inside it to produce my symptoms

Nobody around me will even touch this trans

send it to us, we'll do the labor for $550, assuming just needs a cleaning and clutch / shaft replacement

trans

I see your in GA., too. My tuner said the same thing about roll racing. He said put it in the gear you desire in sport mode and then once you hit, it bump the trans back up into D and let it do the rest. As far as the rebuild on the trans, let Brett Lasala do it in FL. He's not that far away. You could possibly drive it to him. That's what we do when needed.

Usually when the convertor lets go their is alot of brass in the oil and drain pan.

[Ponderthis]

The flakes were brass colored if I remember correctly

 

[Tommy V]

Yep that sounds like the convertor!!!

 

[Ponderthis]

I'm almost positive I have an exploded converter, I'm uploading a video now of the noise it makes just moving it around, I spun the input shaft with my hand it feels fine.
