Alright please read this whole story and give me an opinion if you have one. I just took my car to the track after putting on my torque converter earlier this week. One my first run, I started out okay i thought, but my car just wasnt pulling well after my 60' and my mile per hour was 92 with the mods you see below. PROBLEM! Anyway I figured maybe my car was fine and I just was being too easy and wasnt on the gas like i should have been. Well, my second run was far worse!! 15.3 @ 85!!! On my way back to the pits, It sputtered and died. It turns over still, but makes a whiny squeal coming from the back of the engine I believe. A couple people suggested my flexplate. My car idles low all the time because of my underdrive pulleys, so maybe with the friction of a possibly bent flex plate that caused my engine to sputter and die when I was poking back to the pits? I can only start it with the gas pressed lightly, otherwise it turns over almost enough to start but not quite. Once it starts a that hideous squeek emerges again! I'll try to describe it as best I can if you have any other questions ... any help would be much appreciated...

anyone have an idea?

 

People seem to talk all the time about getting the converter on correctly. If you don't, I believe it can screw up the tranny pump. I have not actually done one, so I am just passing on what I have read here. Something about 3 clicks or some such thing. You might want to try a search to see what you can come up with.

 

oh he got it on right if he drove the car
If u dont, your pump will get crushed when the tranny is bolted up and the car wont move Guess how i know...
