Re: 5spd Swap

I was also thinking it could be the torque converter causing this problem, because the transmission was working quite nicely before I did the engine swap. Afterwards it drove for like a day, started slipping out of gear, and now it takes a good 10 mins to engage, and goes about 10 feet before it disengages. I pulled one of the lines off to see the flow of the fluid, and it is a pretty weak stream. I'm not great with automatic transmissions and there inner workings, so I'm guessing here.

Does anyone have any insight in this?

I just want to make sure the transmission is dead, before I drop 2 grand into a manual.

Thanks!!
