    I believe the trans was rebuilt by AAMCO, and they also provided the torque converter. Yeah you should definitely check those welds; they are not as strong as those in the OE converter -they all broke. Transmission works perfect otherwise... I still have to push the ring gear a little bit more but it is working now without problems... what a f... weird problem!

    I may try doing the welds myself but I have not welded before. Any advice or thoughts?
    If it ain't broke... I fix it!

    I think learning to weld while lying under a car is a good way to light yourself on fire.

    See posting #20.

    Solution was remove transmission, get TQ out, re-position ring gear, and weld it again.

    If trans is out, revise those welds; a couple of those were already broken in the old transmission (there are 6 of them)
