I think somethings wrong here! LOL

Hey all, well I have a testamonial to give about running the incorrect torque converter on a 360!
Ok before I get started I must say I put the said converter in my car when I was in H.S. and built my motor and trans out of a book with absolutly NOBODY's help. That said I excuse my self from the stupidity that shall follow! LMAO! :wack:
Well I didnt know at the time that I needed a special TC for my 360
(no weight), so I grabbed the first one around(from a 318) that I figured was good. Well to condense this, my car sat for 9 years til' last March. I finally got to pulling the trans out to swap in a fresh 904 today.
Well the trans that came out had been slipping pretty badly and making a horrific noise that reverberated through the driveshaft. Well when I pulled the pan the first thing I noticed was a valve body bolt that was backed out to where it had been resting in the pan, second thing was the PILE of sediment under the filter. As I ran my finger through the pile and inspected closer I see metal shaveings! WHoo Hoooo. And last but certainly not least, I was looking to see if the front seal had been leaking, and happened to rest my hand on the input shaft. Well the center shaft moved downward about 1/8th of an inch. So I naturally start to investigate it and find that the HUGE weight that turned out to be on the converter had thrown the whole system so far off balance that the center shaftwas wobbling around inside the bigger shaft! To the tune of about 3/16" from side to side!!!!!!!!!!
Mean while I have been wondering for years what that vibration was!
LIVE AND LEARN I guess! lol just thought Id' share. Lata'
