I know I had the correct play in the converter when I bolted them together. I didn’t get 10 miles albeit, over 6 months time frame on the car. Had the car at my engine builder for unrelated reason, he noticed a leaky trans pan and decided to fix it while there. He found small shavings in the bottom of the pan... As I mentioned, less then 10 miles on the car just from moving it around over months.Trans had to be tore down, faulty front pump... that had been originally replaced by the trans shop in the original rebuild. Trans guy would not honour warranty as he said it was installed wrong. My engine builder confirmed that the trans/converter had been installed correctly and the issue was with the rebuilt trans... At the end of the day, the trans guy only charged me his time to rebuild, about $700. Hard to prove after the fact who/what was responsible.I changed out the original converter 2nd time around for a higher stall unit. So far, so good, although less then 50mi over two year’s on the car since the second rebuild of the trans.That really sucks, about your engine... Mine cost me $18k to rebuild, don’t want to think about having to redo it because of a faulty transmission. Good luck in the rebuild.</blockquote>
