Converter help!

[J.R. Haddad]

Hi Jason, J.R. I was shocked to read this. I was hoping your convertor
problems were behind you. For starters, I don't think that you were sent
2 bad convertors. They were both good to start with, then they both went
sour. I'm going to ignore that they didn't find anything when you sent the first one back, this problem is too unique for their rebuilders to identify. Some constant in your car is causing the problem, perhaps you have a bent front
shaft on your trans, or the bellhousing is off, or your flexplate has different
heights on the bolt tabs. I believe it is something like that. The best gentleman I have ever spoken to about convertor issues is Lenny at Ultimate Convertors. An extremely knowledgeable person, who treats his customers like they are family. He is the one race supplier that when he tells me
how much the bill is, I say, no, it must be more. Give him a call, you won't be mad. J.R.

Hey J.R. To say its frustrating is an understatement. I installed an Ultrabell myself over winter, but I bought it from Leo Glassbrenner. He machined the bell before sending it to me. He also went through my trans last summer and installed the transbrake. I put the 1st converter in at that time when he sent my trans back. The flexplate is a brand new JW piece that I installed after I broke the rear end in Rock Falls this June.

If alignment is off, wouldnt they have found some sort of wear inside the converter?

I will give Lenny a call....Thank you!
