I rebuilt my Trans myself first time have ever tried this. I lost 3rd gear took trans out and found my 3/4 clutch pack junk 200 miles on it any help on why this is would be great also why I lost 3rd gear. I am running my stock converter posted about the 3rd gear problem and was told my ring busted but it is not broken just junk clutches
