Billy, I've never seen a ring gear come off a Mopar converter but that doesn't mean it couldn't happen. I have seen the external balance weight come off one, pretty heavy chunk just held on be two spot welds. Made a mess of the case.

So... enlighten me, because it never occurred to me, is the counterweight on the converter?...
If so... how do you guys balance your rotating assembly?

Haven't worked on many Chrysler products in my time, last was in the late 70s and not performance stuff...
