Hey guys whats going on. i got a 84 pontiac T/A with a 355 in it bolted up to a 700r. I just had my transmission rebuilt steels clutches bands bushings and seals.I put it all back together and it starts knocking. coming from the front pump, torque converter area. Now when i move the tv cable in or out the knocking either goes away or comes back, any idea on what the problem is? i d apreciate the help

 

One possible cause is that the torque converter bolts are loose.

 

Definite possibliity. I bought a parts car years ago, started it up and it sounded like a main bearing was shot. Went to pull the trans and the torque converter bolts were finger tight.

 

Nope, its not the converter bolts. ive double checked to make sure that they are tight, and that also wouldnt explain the noise going away when i increase or decrease line pressure.

Could be a long list of things. Convertor wasn't installed correctly, The input shaft has play going in and out. Did you check your trans before installing it? I'm no expert so if I'm wrong correct me or clarify what you think I meant to say.

 

Figure out the problem yet?
