After I picked up my car from the transmission shop-
Developed what sounded like I spun a crank bearing-
Extremely loud knock on start up and increased with the RPM as she warmed up it quieted down a bit-
Sounded like the rear cylinder (8) on the right bank-
Small amount of fine metallic particles in oil-No pieces or chunks of any destruction found-
Compression 140-145 in all cylinders-
Torque Converter Bolts Loose-
This all started when I took her to a locale transmission shop and asked the owner to build me a 727 Stage 2 transmission, wanting to keep my money local and in my community.
That's not what happen-
Instead, he ordered a Stock 727 rebuilt on line and changed 2 components. I had to replace the converter when he broke two good ones I supplied. Hughes 3000 Stall and a fairly new 1800 stall. I bought a new 2400 Stall from Summit Racing along with a new B & M ratchet floor shifter he said I needed to replace the older one I drove in with.
I had to drive her carefully for the first 500 miles. At around 325 miles I got on it, and she shifts from 1st to 2nd fine however, 2nd to 3rd was a disaster. She fell on her face as if the line pressure was dialed far to low. I repeated this a few more times under a varied number of conditions with the exact results.
Could this cause an engine malfunction like a spun bearing or ?
All in all I paid $4000.00 for a stock rebuilt transmission-Not to mention the 3 Torque Converters and Shifter.
I got screwed big time-to say the least! And he was a d==k about it on top of it all. I am at an impasse, and I am asking for the help and direction of my fellow members-please!
Does anyone of the gurus here have a similar result or can give advice on how to proceed? I have pulled the engine and oil pan and the problem is not forthcoming.
I am stuck at this junction-
