BLACK IN ONE SPOT? what teh hell would cause taht... I was about to say ive twisted the centers out of flexplates and ive grenaded converters (with the help of a little giggle juice)...

usually the only time ive heard a groan was from the front pump. the vanes started to eat into the housing

Check the flex plate very close see if it is cracked, and where is the black spot located?

Nope, Thats why i called Chuck@FLT and dropped a fair amount of money on a PI Vigilante 3000 stall. Im excited but i still have to deal with Fuddle to try to get my converter rebuilt to make some money back. I have to pay for the converter and the heads gotta come off to change the lifters. MY *** IS BROKE!!
