Engine swap is done car purrs and roars BUT will not go into gearMy trans was rebuilt a few months agoput in the Dragon TC after engine swap and it was the wrong one.After manu back and forth w/ precision industries - counting splines, measuring height, and giving the stamping info on the stock convertor.
They sent the correct one - trans shop installed and still nothing.Pump in trans is working you can feel the application.Trans shop says has to be convertor, is gonna pull it hopefully this week.when my engine went car was not moving so dont think any trans damage.Whatcha Think ???
Engine Swap Complete - Transmission Issues
Re: Engine Swap Complete - Transmission Issues (jamesmost)
only way to tell is to install the OEM TC and then see if it works. If it works then you know for a fact that it is the aftermarket TC.

Sound like a pain, all the money time and not being able to drive your car. I have had many experiences with companys giving the wrong part, put it on dons'nt work or does'nt fit than have return item get another, its enuf to drive any on loony. But when the car is done right and you hit the road with new upgrades and you can feel the improvment thats when its worth it!!

Re: Engine Swap Complete - Transmission Issues (jamesmost)
FYI for those interested - they are machineing a new cover for my convertor today, they had to write a new program for the cnc machine, they said they never saw one like mine (although my 2- stock convertors ae identical) blamed it on the Import manufactures changing things up in the middle of production whan they have a problem w/ a supplier.wil have it back on Friday morning

Re: (RobertsnewQ)
It wont work for any Q that was just his BS excuse i think his convertor in the cactory that was labeled Q was probably from a pathfindermy trans guy said the concertor he made(2nd wrong one ) matched no vehicleRobertsnewQ wrote:So that must be why the Z32 converter didn't work for you...
