You're very welcome Scott. If you have issues getting it to plop in I have a last resort trick too but its kinda sketchy and you should have a helper to be as safe as possible. Just hit me up if you get into a bind and I'll tell you what I do.

Great tip showing how the torque converter should look when it's fully seated!

Thanks Cameron. You wanna know before you put it in the car. Believe me it’s frustrating if it’s not in all the way. Been there done that.

Solid tech tip about lining up the converter to the flexplate. That's going to save someone a ton of time and frustration.

@@fullthrottlekindaguy Yes sir. But it’s easy brother. You can use your non weighted converter and get a B&M flexplate for the cast crank. Instead of being round it has a part cut out on one side. The opposite side acts as the weights on the converter.

One thing I like about the Chryslers is you can drain the converter is a little plug some fools got it but GM don't have it it just doesn't make sense to be able to change your tranny fluid all that fluid still in your converter You Keep On Truckin man you're doing good

Thanks Kevin. Got a lot to do in a short time to do it in.

Haha Nice....Like a Glove! 👍

Man I installed mine yesterday for my 66 Fury, now I've got it in the air trying to bolt it to the flex plate and I don't know if I marked it wrong or what but I haven't got it lined up yet. What a pain.

@@JonnyMopar I just tried every hole and it won't line up. Measured all the holes and they're not quite right. So I guess back out comes the trans and I can check all the holes at once. I'm afraid the holes on the new converter aren't right. Who knows.

@@JonnyMopar I figured out the issue I was having. The bolt pattern on the torque converter was wrong from the factory. I just boxed it up to send it back to get fixed. Just so you know, I didn't want you thinking I'm a complete idiot. Haha.

I'm having issues getting the Torque Converter in the output shaft won't seat in.

#1 make sure the splines are the same. Early 727’s had a different spline count than later ones. It think 66 and older has a different spline count than 67 and later. There may be a 3rd spline count, not 100% sure on that or what year it would be. #2, check out Muscle City Madness. I think Ruben did a video where he used a screw driver to rotate the dog ear to a spot he can reference while installing the converter. Good luck.

Hey not exactly related to this video but how hard is it to fix a leak coming from where the shift linkage goes into the trans?

It’s not too hard. I did that on the Orange Power Wagon I had. Not sure if I did a video or not. I’ll look.

Dang, looks like I didn’t record that. Was probably before I started the channel. Sorry man. Anyway, drain the pan, drop the pan, take off linkage, drop valve body, I used washers and bolts to drive out the old seal, I damage the new seal going in crooked (I will always buy 2 from now on just in case), use the washer and bolt to press in new one, reassemble all, add fluid. Done. Lol.

I'm new to Mopars so bear with me . Does the flywheel come attached to converter ? I have a rebuilt 440 and am Buying a TCI 727 . your videos are helping me tremendously ! Thanks

You’re welcome. You need a flex plate. On a Mopar automatic the flex plate attaches to the crank on one side and the torque convertor on the other. The starter teeth are on the torque converter. The torque convertor goes into the front of the trans. Do you have a steel or cast crank? Early 440’s we’re steel (internally balanced), later 440’s we’re cast (externally balanced. It will impact the flex plate and or convertor.

Bruh how

Sometimes that works. Sometimes it don’t.

you know your not suppose to put grease on the seals it will eat them up. You should put tranny fluid or special seal grease just fyi.

I'm getting ready to put a torque converter in very soon and was wondering about the same thing you commented on. So you can get away with just lubing with transmission fluid? I mean it makes sense but just want to get opinions before I go ahead and do this.
