Posting this to help someone out one day. The builder took it all apart and found the center support was cross leaking trying to put on the forward drum and the direct drum at the same time. Everything is all good now.

Pro-Torque told me my converter just needed a refresh. I'm not sure if a new snout was put on or not. I'm 100% sure the converter is all the way in and I am very close to the optimal pull-out of 0.150" recommended by Pro-Torque. If the converter wasn't engaged all the way wouldn't it destroy...

I just installed my freshly rebuilt trans last night. It's a refreshed Dynotech unit that a local builder did for me. We followed Eric's exact blueprint and I had Pro-Torque refresh my 12" lock-up converter as well. Trans cooler lines were flushed and blown out. The converter was installed...

Hey guys, well after 12 years of beating on this trans she finally let loose. What started first about a year ago was a 2-3 flare which I am guessing was clutches going bad. I continued to cruise the car since I didn't have time to rebuild it and eventually I lost all gear. The car pretty...

Thanks for the post Phil. I remembered my user name and password. Haven't been here a while but good to be back. The build is as follows: Holley 750 Edlebrock RPM Dart Iron Eagle 180CC cast iron heads XE268 cam 10:1 Hooker longtubes, x-pipe, single chamber flowmasters Dynotech Built 500 HP...

Yo Phil I finally found you on here. Damn another silver one with the black wheels. That thing looks nice man.

Yes the better band is in there now. He said it is the one with the hardened anchor and 2.5 yrs ago when they built the trans that particular band was not available. Hopefully she will last forever now because I drive really hard and after 2.5 yrs if thats the only thing that went bad in the...

Pix Added Oblong band anchor on the 1-2 band Old clutch pack that was replaced also

Awesome sleeper! I hope your build is a success and she shifts like a dream for you again!

Hopefully someday I will have the time to take one of these transmissions apart and learn how to rebuild it myself. I also had my trans built by the very same place that did yours. It is the street strip version rated at 500 HP or is it 350 horsepower now that I toasted a band anchor a few...

Wait! Isn't that "Hi-Pro" trans supposed to be rated for 900 HP and be able to live into the 9 sec range??? That really sucks man! Hopefully you will get it back to normal again.

Wrong post

They replaced the 1-2 band and I believe he said the overdrive clutches were slightly glazed so he replaced them too. I got the old broken band and 2 red clutches in the box of parts they gave back to me because you guys said you wanted to see what they looked like.

I picked up the car last night and shes shifting sweet again. The anchor on the 1-2 band was oblong and 2 of the clutches were slighty glazed. I have the parts and can post pics sometime this weekend if I have time. Total bill was $577 and some change. I was kinda hoping it would have been a...

I was thinking of taking the trans out and bringing it up to them but since I live 2 hours away I would hate to pull the trans just for an accumulator spring. I also wanted them to take a ride in it and diagnois what the problem was and I was hoping it would be a fix that could be performed by...
