Right this is a new yank converter I bought .. I had no issues with trans before this .. 60k on car an I installed the converter now I have 30 miles on it an it started doing this .. I don't get it

I will just have to pull it out and have a trans Builder take a look at it

I'm wagering on an install issue. They odds of the transmission going bad at the same time as a converter install HAVE to be astronomical.

98camaropower

I agree

Transmission works perfectly fine for about 2 minutes then I hear a small noise coming from the transmission then no response at all from any of the gears

Drop the trans pan and you'll find all your clutch material laying there.

Okay guys here's a update I got the transmission out today the fluid that came out of the dipstick hole I ended up getting in a container and it looks horrible very very dark I am leaving the pan intact and a converter in and giving it to one of the local performance transmission shops and they will get back to me on Monday and tell me what happened thanks for all your input I will update when I get more info

Fried clutch pack, gonna guess and say a lip seal..... but the shop will probably never tell you.

The owner of the shop said his first guess was converter went bad because the trans stops working after it runs for a minute or two.. but when I initially start the car it goes right into gear

Torque converters do not do this! You need to be there when he tears the unit down...

You can't flush them enough. There is actual cans of trans line/cooler flush that does pretty good. It foams up and carries crap out with it.

If still using the factory cooler make sure you flushing in the top line and out the bottom fitting.

It can be done with water and compressed air.

It can be but it's not getting everything unless the only cooler your running is a tube and fun type with nowhere for debris to settle. I've tore up more than my share of trannies and clean the lines and cooler with brake clean first to cut the oil, then flush Good with water and air followed by the actual cleaner and alway get glitter out with the cleaner.

I used compressed air on top an bottom line until just air came out then I used a solvent carb an choke cleaner an filled both lines an blew them out several times until fluid coming out was clear an just air

I throw my plate style cooler away and get a new one when there is metal shavings.

I buy a new one when it's just massive amounts of clutch dust also

+1 trash the stacked-plate cooler and replace it with a new one.
