Well my project has slowed to a crawl.. as the original plan was to mate the 4bt i have to the 700r4 I have in the 84 Chev 4x4 i have .. and as i was told the transmission would not hold up.. so I looked for a 47RH... without out much luck.. but I did score 2 47RE's both with some problems.. and both with Big Nasty Looking Bilitted Torque Converters.. The one I have the slip on is a Sonax Superior True triple disk... The New one I just got when i bought a parts 47RE appears to be a PATC Triple disk I just got home with and will examine in the light tomorrow.. so now where it gets technicle.. i have no good info on these converters.. The Sonax was supposedly in a running transmission that kept dropping out of 4th and Lock-up when it got warmed up.. I don't know if that damages the converter?.. the one tonight, someone thought enough of the converter to seal the inport very throughly.. and I have no knowledge of how to test.. or if they can be tested to find their viability... but I'm guessing the combined retail on them is well over the $2,500 range so i won't be chucking them in the scrap anythiny me soon.. .. so I am seeking knowledge on how to check them out.. if such knowledge exists... a notion if they go bad.. or if they are something I shouldn't worry about???? lots of questions ... no answers from this old guy.. any help would be Wonnerful Wonnerful.. and now Myron and the boys will play for you another lovely tune.. anna one anna two...
