Most GM dealership service departments won’t touch a GMPP warranty repair. Too many variables.

So...… I Are Smart...…. Found the problem...…. I thought I knew everything as I have done this many times in the past...….. Let's just say I ruined the converter and the trans pump and leave it at that...…. It's in the hands of Experts now being fixed...… Ends up I didn't have the pump engaged properly with the converter......Darn this car stuff is hard and $$$$$$$

Sorry Ken. Fortunately you have your answer and it'll be fixed. :thumbsup:

Yepper$$$$!!!!!!! ....... I would have Bet money I was no the cause....... Lesson Learned...

Sorry to hear this, but it will be fixed.

Just be glad you didnt take it the dealer for something you can easily do.

Got the transmission back and and a "Lesson" well learned......100% my fault because I didn't have the converter positioned correctly..... How can that be, I have done this many times before...... Seems that with the converter not in correctly and mating the trans to the engine while tightening the bell housing bolts it pushed the converter into the trans and broke the parts inside the pump..... I used a electric ratchet and didn't feel the resistance of the bolts telling me "Hey Dummy" stop you have a problem here..... After tightening the bolts and putting the Converter to Flexplate bolts in everything seemed normal....... Duhhh !!!....... So.... If you think you know everything like I did,,,,, Double check as it was an expensive fix...... and Embarrassing !!!!!

Don’t beat yourself up too badly. I wish I had all the money back I’ve had to spend on stupid or careless mistakes I’ve made over the years. We all do it... car guys, plumbers, fishermen (I have a friend that lost his boat on the highway because he didn’t get the hitch completely latched). The only one of us that hasn’t done something like this is a liar!
Except pilots... they have to be more careful! :)

Glad to hear that it’s fixed and ready to go - sh*t happens, as they say, and it happens to all of us!

Hey Ken,

Another great Chevelle build!:thumbsup: Looks great. Sorry you had the converter problem, that sucks.

I'm running the Vaporworx tank like that. Is that a pressure sensor or something coming off that fuel line? What's that hook up to? I don't have that.

Thanks
