I pulled my trans out to send back for warranty and the converter is stuck in it. It will bottom out on the pump but will only come back out 1/4-1/2 an inch then hangs up on something. Turning the converter, it sounds like something clanking/flopping around in there.

A little background on the trans... It's a stage 5 4L65 with all the bells and whistles only about 3 months old. Every thing was great till going to work one morning. I casually left a red light and on the 1-2 shift it just free reved. No bang, pop, clank, nothing... just free reved. After that there were no forward or reverse gears but park still held. The converter is a Fuddle 9.5" HP Truck converter.

Would a broken input shaft cause the converter to hang up like that or is my converter fubar?

 

that's what it sounds like the way you explained it but i'm no tranny expert. good luck kid, i hope you figure it out and hopefully it isn't anything major.

 

u broke the pump and it is jamed in their

 

yup EXACTLY what mine did. I put a pry bar in there and it popped loose. I have to sand down the shaft on the tc cause it was gaulded up from the pump but no damage to the tc.

 

Could the converter possibly come apart inside? Like the vaines and fins inside it?

Jim

 

yes but unlikely

 

The pump makes sense due to the way it went out and the symptoms afterward. I may try to go pry it out this afternoon.

 

Mine went out exactly like yours did last week while in Texas, Found out the Torque Converter hub broke which in turn killed the pump.

 

I didnt notice a converter in your sig. You still running a stock converter?

 

oh crap

did you repair it here or haul it back?
