Ill take pics if I have to but ive got a couple of nice 1/16 or 1/32 inch deep gouges on the END of the hub on the torque converter. Im thinking of just taking my time and smoothing it out and it should be good.

1. Will this be ok?
2. What is the worse that can happen?

Its got a lot less mile than my stocker and I plan on changing them out.

What should I do?

 

You would need to post pictures for anyone to make any real determination

 

Will do in a few. Ill get on some warmer clothes and walk down to the gayraj

 

Guess I forgot about this thread...



It doesnt look as bad as it seems. I think it will be ok. You can barely catch a nail on it but the flash makes it look like someone took a hammer to it

 

Holy **** that dont look good

 

it doesnt look good but you can barely catch a nail on it. The photo makes it look a fuckton worse

 

It more important to see the other side. Nothing touches the area shown in the pic, but the other side passes through the seal, bushing, and ends up in the pump rotor.
It looks like you can just take a file and smooth out the other side of it.

 

I would say your biggest concern is finding out what caused it. Did you drop it or something or did you receive it that way? If that happend with it in the car then there is something for sure wrong and you will want to find out why.

 

It was shipped like that. The box busted somewhere in shipping. I looked at it closely and .nothing touches that part of the converter because their are no rub marks(isnt polished).


As posted above I do believe my stocker is shot and this is in a lot better shape that what im currently DDing.

Plans are to file the end smooth and repolish it...

What are the negative effects of this?

 

Why not ship it back and have the shipping company fix it?

 

I would say not to use it!
without a converter shop checking it out correctly as the hub might be out of round or knocked off center.

 

not a company.

 

How much is it to ship a stocker out and have it checked?

 

The cost of shipping both ways and repair might exceed the cost of a new converter
But call me at 775 826 9955 and we can talk about options for you.

Take it to a converter shop or a reputable machine shop and have them check the runout on the pump drive hub.

I can clearly see it's a stock converter, it's not worth shipping.

 

So I take it im better off cleaning out the one thats in it and using this one as a paper weight... awesome

Screw it im going yank 3600 when i get the cash.. What i was told to do all along...

 

Good decision. You won't be sorry.
