Well an update for any interested.

The tranny was plugged from a blow torque convertor, the metal from the fins and some possible aluminum was plugging the valve body. A quick run to my tranny guy fixed this up.

As for the torque conv, I tried many different ideas. Seems a higher stall conver is always smaller, thus not many companys make them to fit the amc flex plate. B&M had a few with two bolt positions but the ones with the right hole pattern was wayyyyyyy to high a speed. talking 2500-3000 rpm here.

So talking with a local tranny supply shop I learned some interesting news. If you want a higher stall 1700-1900 the jaguar th400 stock conv fits into this range.

But what I didn't know is the stock convert for the th400 is in the 1400-1500 rpm range........whish was fine with me.

B&M TC - 300.00 price range
Stock TC - 70 bucks (who would have guessed)

Now after all this work, I still get the noise LOL


i'm going to try a few tricks to see if I can isolate it. 2 different Dana 20's, new TC and some new th400 clutches......dunno what else to check.

MC I may have to try my stock adaptor, its the only thing I haven't tried to change yet

Hello,
If it is a whine type of noise it is the front pump. Either the pump is shot or the tranny is clogged up.

Hope this helps

Thanks Rob, but everything on the tranny has been figured out and fixed.

Its more of a "not fully in gear" type of noise I get in 2 high.

I've tried 2 different shifters - normal and "J" style & 2 different transfer cases. I get the noise out of both situations.

I'm about to turn into either a;

A) Alcholoic from the frustration
or
B) A Dana 20 / TH400 R&R expert

Being that my little topic is getting popular I'll take this opperturnity to ask where I can get a Dana 20 twin Stick?

purplexing....hmmm I know the adaptors were made extremely carefully paying attention to every measurement. Doesnt make sense...

[CJ Shark]

I have no doubt your adaptor isn't the problem buddy, just the only thing I haven't changed.

if I can find a twin stick I may try that first.

Who knows I maybe have a crappy shifter and its not fulling popping into 2high.

its a long shot but its a possibility.

So again.......where can I get a twin stick
