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 20230124_092949.jpg20230124_092941.jpg
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.

Did all that, when I got to the OD unit is where I found from where those metals come from.....20230124_102622.jpg

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.....20230124_100845.jpg20230124_095021.jpg20230124_095001.jpg20230124_094915.jpg20230124_094902.jpg

Some of the frictions look o.k., but you might as well just get an o/h kit that has all the essentials in it, at this point.Be sure to replace the piston seals in every clutch pack too.You don't wanna do this again.Same applies to the bushings:replace any that look worn.
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....
