Noof I am no expert on automatic transmission since 2004 but the stationary where the converter goes I don't like it, tomorrow will open the case, I am done for today........ TP
Take a look inside the converter.What does the bushing look like?The part that it runs on is called the support.That's the part that looks badly scored.You have to look a little farther into the snout (the oil pump) to see waht that bearing surface looks like, but the bushing in the front of the converter will tell all.I want you to consider that it is a bad problem, but not likely your first gear issue.You have a lot of stuff going on it seems.
Tomorrow is disassemble time, will take photos of everything, for sure I will replace the converter........TP
Good morning, I could finally removed the output shaft speed sensor and it also has metal parts since the sensor is magnetic, I am still taking it apart Attachment 29423Attachment 29425
P.S. an old timer neighbor told me that what I saw at the converter snout is common, to be worried if it looks shiny like recently but it looks old.....just sharing what he said.....
Yes...that's why I said you have to look deeper into the pump, behind the seal area, as well as the support bushing in the converter.The front part of the converter supports are unfinished, non-contact areas.You want to pull the pump out now to get to the clutches.You may have to slide hammer the pump out to remove it.Quote:

I removed the first snap ring one that is round that holds the first set of steels and clutch on the OD unit, here is what came out...all done and FUBAR

P.S. Forgot to mention those are OD clutches
One thing I notice, everything in the case, clutches steels look new, something tells me when this transmission got rebuild they only did the case not the OD unit, I have seen this before.......
Those are TOAST sir.Be sure when you're done to flush the cooler lines & cooler.The converter will be filthy too, but I heard you say you're replacing it,so that's a non-issue.Keep up the good work.
Thanks but don't go anywhere yet, OD piston and everything back looks old.........and I think there are 2 seals missing behind the oil pump.....Attachment 29430Attachment 29431Attachment 29432Attachment 29433Attachment 29434
Tell me I am wrong and I need new glasses.....Attachment 29435
Need more photos of any other section of the transmission? just tell me I will make it happen
No seal rings are missing there (the ones that look like piston rings).There's just 1 on either side of the feed hole they seal off bro.Quote:

But the pump has seals? Or I don't see them? I kind of see 2 metal rings but I thought there should be 2 rubber seals........I order a kit that has clutches and steels with gaskets and everything....
