1978 chevy 1/2ton. 4x4 small block 350 (newly installed 400 tc) (automatic...) thm350 np203 transfer case
So I just finished installing a "completely" rebuilt tranny from a local guy( Here is hood river 97031). I
finished all the install and little stuff. I didnt have a whole lot of space between converter and flexplate
but Im so damn sure it was seated properly. I put 5 quarts in tranny cranked engine and quickly dumped 5 more
then checked it. I added another quart then I went to shift the column down from park. it seemed like the shifter
mechanism shifted just like it used to but maybe the tranny wasnt doing anything although the L1 at the bottom
seemed to make the truck lurch a teeny bit. when I started going back up the tree when I went from reverse to park
it did this horrible sound of like starter sound(squeal) plus metal chewing. I immediately turned it off so I dont know if it "might" have gone away or if it was normal for freshly rebuilt tranny. But I know it didnt all seem right...So my question to you is does it sound like
something you've seen before?
isnt is around 11.8 quarts for completely empty thm350 and half full tc?
btw the bellhousing is supposeddly only reused thing the guy said. and supposeddly new 400tc
I do have an aftermarket cam... pretty mild I think.
