rebuilds and used torque convertors
Did a shift kit intallation and typical mod upgrade to a low mileage 700R4.
I've had no trouble with similar projects however this trans lasted all of 4 quarter mile passes before the 3-4 gears went away.
It was suggested that the torque convertor ( a TCI Street Fighter ) may have been contaminated with clutch material from it's previous installation and ruined the rebuild.
Anyone have similar experiences?

Re: rebuilds and used torque convertors
Torque converters are notoriously hard to flush. It's kind of like trying to get all the water out of an old tire.
