My 78' Delta 88 has the 403cid engine w/the TH350 tranny. The car just keeps eatting through the TH350 's It has now had 4 total(2 before I owned it). I bought it w/a bad transmission. I rebuilt the first tranny I put in it w/new torque converter and the car even had the 2nd and sometimes 3rd gear scratch. A year or so later rattling came from underneath the car. The bearings in the torque converter where no longer in tact, which eventually ruined the tranny. I just threw in a junkyard tranny & torque converter as well as radiator. There was a theory I had w/the radiator. It wasn't cooling the tranny therfore overheating tranny fluid causing the bearings to go inside torque. Nope has happened all over again w/junkyrd tranny & torque. Now the new theory is maybe it's a unbalanced or warped flywheel or maybe the TH350 is not strong enough therfore maybe swapping it out for a TH400, but what needs to be done to do this? I know The tailshaft needs to be shortened and the detent switch w/a TH400 is on the Gas Pedal. But What else? Any ideas or experiences please list a response or an email. Thanks!
