I felt the converter seat twice as I rotated it. Any special way to seat the converter? Is there any special alignment for the splines of the input shafts? I will check the 3/4" reference.
Thanks Trackspeeder

The converter is close to an inch deeper than the face of the bell housing. The converter bolts are about 1/4" proud of the bell housing face.
If I unbolt the converter, should I be able to slide it in and out any? If yes and I can't, that should tell me it's not seated.

Best thing to do is take your time. The E4OD is no harder to rebuild then a C6. Just alot heavier.
Make sure you do all the updates. Then drive it like you stole it.

well I pulled it. converter is damaged. hub is distorted. looks like it was 180 deg off and the flats the seat into the pump were formed on the opposite faces. Guess I have to pull the pump? I'm approaching major unknown territory. However we don't have money for a rebuild and have to get the bus back on the road asap. Anyone know a good link to a break down of the E4OD? Danielle, what book and DVD did you get?

BTW, I'm not a complete idiot mechanically (obviously sometimes ) Just have had my hands full this last year. Trying to recover from it.

Can anyone suggest a reliable fair priced converter? Also need recommendations for stall, it's for a e350 short bus, single wheel, will have a fair load (8-9k GVW) 50% of time and sometimes towing a light trailer 3-5k lbs. Would like good highway performance. Being a 350 I guess it has the 4:10 gears but I never checked.

Yes the flats fall into the pump. You should pull the pump. You can split it or have a tranny shop split it to see if it is damaged.
As for a converter check this guy. www.racerxusa.com

You can find a copy of the ATSG manual on evilbay or racerx. This will help you along.
This is how the pump and TC looks when damaged. Go to my web pics for more. You want to get a low stall TC around 1200 RPM.

Here is just one of many places to find a TC. Ebay is a good place to look.

I also printed out other people's upgrades from here and will be doing some of them when I find time for this haha. If you dig back, there is a ton of information over the years of guys on here who have done this.
Almost TOO easy

That ASTG manual is fine if your going to do a self rebuild or if 7river has a screwed up pump and going to replace it, but it won't do much good showing how the TC is installed to the pump and flexplate.
Somewhere in this thread he asked what I had got for literature. Looks like you guys already have him back on track with his issues, too. Nice
