11-05-2018, 11:16 AM #27…not sure if anyone else is following this thread, but I want to post another update to answer an above question: so again, I had my TC opened and since I couldn’t make a decision on the spot (at the shop) as to what to do with it, I took it home with me in pieces. I decided to clean it real good for a thorough inspection, I was left puzzled to be told that there was nothing wrong with it. Anyway, I had never seen the internals of a TC and I don’t know the part names, but the part with the friction clutch (sort of looks like frying pan) has a crack approximately 4 inches long. I’m not 100% certain, but to me this means that it leaks fluid pressure through that crack as the TC is in lock-up mode. The strange part is that even though the fluid looks dirty and smells a bit burnt, that friction clutch looks intact, as if the debris and burning came from other friction plates inside the transmission (I may open it later and check). However, my point is that I feel pretty confident the mystery problem has been revealed, that crack was leaking fluid pressure thus preventing full lock-up which resulted in slippage friction and overheating. Why the crack though!!?? I’ll have to wait and see if I manage crack it again. I will talk again with my TC guy to see if he feels real confident that he can convert my TC to a diesel version. Either way I’ll be going back to my 2000 stall pretty soon, which worked plenty better for me than the 1300 I have today.
