The dowels between the engine and adapter are good, at least they were when I had the engine out last year. I don't see how that adapter could move. Also I had run a different converter after the motor rebuild and had no problems with the pump bushings and stuff. I really hope it was the trans case that's bad somehow, one of the dowel holes looked kinda crap but still seemed tight. Who knows. I'm using a good case from a 06 this time so hopefully it works.

I assume you checked flush with bell housing and adaptor plate once torqued to spec and had no issues there correct?

Yes as far as I know everything bolted up tight like its supposed to.

Well, it sounds like you've done your due diligence, bolt it back together and hope for the best!

Got about 3/16" or so clearance between TC and flexplate with trans bolted up. Shouldn't be an issue right?

This **** is getting old. So got the trans in last night, all seemed fine. Now today it started whining/howling again. Can hear some noise in park also. Pressure seems fine, 100 psi idle, 200 unlocked, TC locked 180-190. I have not checked cooler return line flow yet but pan temp hasn't got over 160. Anyway truck is parked till I figure this **** out, hopefully theres not too much carnage yet.

Just a thought, but have u unbolted the converter and made sure it is coming from the transmission

I ran the engine a few weeks ago by itself and it sounded fine. I'm pretty sure its the trans making noise, probably somehow related to the pumps, bushings, ect. burning up.

The overdrive unit was pretty much the only major thing not changed. Different case, pump, input shaft, planets, ect. Same VB but it was cleaned/ rebuilt.

Anyone know much flow is there supposed to be returning from the coolers? Dave G. gave me some specs once but I don't remember and have not had time to call them.

Sonnax has a cooler flow tool so u can actually drive it and see if it stays flowing good the warmer it gets. Maybe some local trans shops might have one.

Does the whine go away when you put the shifter into a forward gear?

No it whines in all gears. Directly related to engine rpm.
