trans/converter making noise?

[wolfmann442]

We have a built trans and 3200 stall in our 86 GN,and it started making this "wurrring" noise only when it is in gear,and the noise is coming from the trans/converter area.. The noise is very noticeable from the outside,but the trans shifts out like normal?


Any help is greatly appreciated.

Could be a bad thrust bearing in the converter or a pump issue.

My converter started doing this when it started to go bad. Noise went away when you got above walking speed, and when in neutral.
Got louder with time and a bit before it failed it started acting like the lock up was acting up and not releasing properly.
