Rebuilt 47RH Dies after 4 miles.

did you flush the cooler lines and make sure they are all flowing good? also i had the same short of problem and found that the drum on the end of the input shaft had a hair line crack all the way across it, this caused me to pull the tranny 4 or 5 times and had to replace 5 clutches and steels every time until my buddy found the crack, everyone kept blaming the vb which i knew was fine

check your input shaft and seals, drums, and case for any cracks, you can put them together outside the tranny and use a blower nozzle to check, also when you put it all back together but before the vb goes back in you can check and make sure the bands and clutches are all work right by using the blower nozzle on the holes at the front and back of the case, on the edges of where the vb goes

when i had that crack the tranny would run great for the first few miles, then wouldnt get out of its own way, i still had the right line pressures and couldnt tell anything was wrong because the crack was after the gauge port
 
I'm not tryin to start chit.... I've been a lurker here for quite a while and pretty active over on CF..... Here's what I found today. (Pictures will be posted tonight, I don't have time right now, gotta get back out to the shop).

1: I only have .024" of clearance between the converter and flex plate. Yes, .025. As in less than 1/32 of an inch.
2: It is black. It does not say DPC anywhere on it. It has the following two numbers stamped on it on the back cover. K81 & 3510
3: The input shaft WAS digging into the hub that it splines into. Picture will show this.
4: Stator support bolts are NOT coming loose.
5: Overdrive clutch is toasted. I'm not sure if it's from improper OD clutch piston spacer, faulty valvebody, or from towing the truck home....

That's all I know for now.

I don't really appreciate people jumping to conclusions here. I'm simply pointing out what I've had people tell me (DPC makes converters for DTT; and DPC's reportedly had problems) and that my tranny is toasted. As a side note, when I point blank told Bill Kondolay Friday that I'd heard DPC was making their converters, he did NOT deny it.

Front and rear clutches appear to be OK as does the kickdown band. Today's job is to get this thing all torn down and cleaned. I think for safety's sake, I'm going to tear down the VB and clean it, then after it's reassembled, send it down to Georend's to have em put it on their VB tester.....

Brand NEW cooler and 1/2 inch gates multiuse oil resistant hose.

Brand new Sonnax Billet input. Brand new rear clutch drum. Everything else is possible for cracks, but can't really say. I'll check that stuff when I get the trans torn apart as I reassemble.

The converter is NOT your problem, don't even go there... I know of over 100 DPC converters installed by reputable builders without any clearance issues.

I would check to make sure the bolts that fasten the stater support to the pump didn't loosen up on you.

The clutch clearances are ok, check mainline pressure.

I think you might be a fine concrete guy, but you don't know **** about a torque converter if you think twenty five thousands is enough clearance! While all of the racer boys were in kansas having there beer I was pulling transmissions on friday fixing this same type of bull****! DPC has built triples too tall for a year now thats the way it is! 1222 high falls rd. griffin ga. if you would like to see some I am available for your schooling! DTT is handleing this problem just as I am. Just because you have one that works does not mean this problem is not happening! Joe farmer, ashley black, an anyone else that would like to deal with a man that just lost 80,000 thousand dollars over this isssue bring you ass down and run you mouth in my parking lot! Or just keep typing as it costs you nothing!

Only the person that he spoke with and told the truth too needs to know...And he does now!


So Sticky, just let them show there true colors......

I don't know who terry is, but he should get involved, if there's a legit problem. You know the old saying, if he saves one person from making the same mistake, its worth it.
