ok guys im in no mans land here, all i know about autos is that they change gears by themselves lol.
my engine spins perfect, when i bolt the auto up it wont spin at all.
has anyone ever had this before?
i cant seem to see what could it be.
hit me with any ideas please!
The converter is slotted all the way in the shaft? Like locked in?
If it isnt all the way in and you do up all the bolts on the bellhousing it really casuses problems....
haha, don't feel like to much of an idiot, i've seen this question asked on here more times then i care to remember.
seems to catch people out everytime....
To add insult to injury, the torque converter neck is hardened whereas the pump gears are not. If you've hurt the neck then the pump gears are certainly damaged.
doh!
if i pull the seal out will i be able to see it?
ill get a pic of the converter.
ps i sent you an email this arvo about a cast pan
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
there is a slight burr on the gearbox, i just slid another converter on and there seemed to be no drama.
where can i get this converter neck fixed?
will my local engineering(tailshaft specialist) shop be able to handle it or is it a specialty job?
cheers leigh
hahahahahaha man when you put a convertor in theres a trick you shoulda rang me you push it on then twist it and push it further then ppl think thats it BUT twist it more and push and you will feel it LOCK in then its sweet and yeh i,d say you stuffed the stuffed the pump gears man

Thank fark my mate was with me when we bolted my motor back up as he'd done this before so knew to manouevre the converter until it drops all the way in as Stone Racing said....
hahahha did the same thing with dads vk.
Rebuilt the engine after i cracked a bore,chucked the converter on tried starting the engine in the car nothing happened, pulled it back out swaped the pump gears around with my other trimatic box and it still wouldnt turn, measured the pump gear width and it was about 3 mm wider than the other one, deburred the other gear threw it in and it turned
