No.
No no no !!

[Luke]

no i wont - the reason that came out was the gearbox

[madbri]

luke i thought u ran this engine in the donner car? was it ok then?

[MattBlackMinibus]

:roll: luke i thought u ran this engine in the donner car? was it ok then?

That got me thinking, is it the weight of the van causing it to slip?
but no, cos even if you left the handbrake on in the car, the clutch wouldn't slip would it.

There so much discussion and controversy in the states about the oil grades people reckon for different auto boxes,
but I'm sure you've already been through all that eh.

:roll: luke i thought u ran this engine in the donner car? was it ok then?

yes it was perfect
we think i underfilled the 1st box and ruined it as i filled it and didnt go through all the gears - maybe i didnt now its a shame i did that as i could rule it out if i didnt but hey ho

[Luke]

plan to

i've got another torque converter now and i'm going to swap it over before north weald - if its that that was the problem then it'll be there

[AlanN]

I hope you get this sorted Luke

[Luke]

bad news now got the torque converter off tonight but the new one ive bought is smaller - it was supposedly off a supra turbo but im not sure but on the plus side while searching to see if it is ive found some threads on torque converter lock up problems which might explain mine being an electrical fault............. fingers crossed

[AlanN]

Good and bad news then
