Define what ya mean? It won't move unless I move it back, and I only move it back maybe 10 degrees as to not chance any damage. So forward is only that 10 degrees forward. Does seem to maybe have trouble moving back too, tried going a bit further back and was definitely taking some oomph.
Rough video but here

You don't wanna hear this but you need to separate again. Gotta find out if it's the engine or trans.

 

[DemonMudder]

My guess is the trans, I know the engine spun fine before, and as said, the torque convertor did a similar move and spun back but not forward..

 

[Turdle]

Thinking you binded torque converter when it wouldn't go all the way together. Torque converter probably popped out when engine was pulled first time

 

[DemonMudder]

I'm sure it did pop out, but I push it back in, least i was pretty sure since it would only spin to a certain point.

 

[DemonMudder]

So you can hear at the beginning, the sound i heard when I messed with it before, that rattle sound like somethings loose behind. But as seen towards the end, I get it where i think is in, least as far back as it seems to go, but then it locks like before and doesn't go forward, only back, to an extent.

 

[DemonMudder]

I'll add this too, it better view

 

[DemonMudder]

Currently whenever it seems to be "in", the end of the shaft is pretty much flush with the bell housing, that normal?

 

[DemonMudder]

DAG NABBIT...HOW..found this stupid crap under/behind the torque convertor, now it sits in fully and just behind the bell housing, AND GUESS WHAT...SPINS FREELY...I don't even know what that bolt is from, looks like an engine mounting one but I have all 6, so I'm not sure. But dang that seems to be it..

@DemonMudder Hey, thank goodness it was a little problem and not a big one, yeah?

Oh 100%!! Was getting scared I busted the torque converter on the way out!

Reminds me of a few weeks ago I was changing brakes on a friends car and one of the slide pin bolts were seized seemingly and I snapped the head off.

I cut the b shaft chain haha. That was not one of my highest points in life haha it was a newer car too so I didnt see it coming nor was it rusty.

I want to keep mine if I can, the less wobble, the better I guess lol
That is surprising, especially knowing where you're located

Conversely the less rotational mass the more power!!!!

Yep, not sure what was wrong there. Oh well. Haha

 

[DemonMudder]

Mostly there! Still a few connections and hoses I'm trying to figure out where go again. But decided to throw the top back on to see it, and dang! It's nice being back! Going tomorrow to get it insured and renew the registration, hopefully ready for my vacation up north on Sunday!

Tips for wiring in the electric fans? Thinking of just making it a manual switch for now

The Efans Ive done come with a tsat control that lets you set the kick on temp. Maybe yours didnt. I wonder how the tstat sends its signal if its change in resistance voltage something maybe if you can find a threshold to kick it on?
