[QUOTE="matthewcamp1978, post: 437330, member: 20814"] Thank you, I’m thinking it was the torque converter. I built the motor and I had it blueprinted and balanced. All my tolerances were spot on. I’ve built a few motors before. When I built the motor I decided to rebuild the transmission also. First time doing so. It only last two days before it burnt all the clutches. So I had a transmission shop rebuild it. I swear they used the same torque converter and just painted it. Anyways, I asked what I did wrong, and he couldn’t tell me. Said everything looked good besides the clutches being smoked. So I assumed that my cooler was to blame. So I blew it out and threw the new rebuilt transmission in. That was about 20k miles ago. But the transmission never felt right. And would make a weird tick sound on step grades. Then it finally went belly up. Got supper hot and lost all power. I limped home and decided to go with a manual. So I have all the part and ax15 ready. But now I discovered the end play issue. Just wondering now if I should just check all the connecting rods, pistons, cam, ext… if they all are is spec and good. Then just replace the crank and crank bearings, thrust bearing. And oil pump while I’m in there. What’s your take on that? Thank you everyone for your replies. [/QUOTE]
