okay iv quit for the day on my mysterious problem so now my question is would could a new rebuilt 904 cause the car to lock up in drive going under 25 it made all kinds of squiling and banging noises i imediaty turned around less than a half mile and shut her down lifted the rear tires off ground and tested to see what had just happend i start car put in drive take foot off brake let rear tires spin as the tires spin theres a hesitation the the tires stop spinning then start spinning if i give it gas its even worse with noises coming from i think tranny any thoughts on this the only other thing i can think off is i put new shoes in parking brake drum wondering if something came loose and now is rolling around in there causing a bind i will take the drive shaft off and pull the drum hoping hoping something has come lose and thats the cause but my question is could the bands be ajusted to tight what are symptoms of bands ajusted to tight would it cause the prolem im trying to exsplain it feels like its going one way then trying to go the opiset way if that makes any sense

Did a shop rebuild the trans?
If so, take the car to them and have it checked-out.

great advise um question iv taken the drive shaft off pulled the parking brake drum off checked inside looks okay nothing broke or lose but i notice the transmission will not spin by rotating the drum by hand even with drum off and just the nut on shaft it will not move now before rebuild it would it has to so u can make final ajustment on the parking brake shoes theres a small window that u remove and inside there an ajuster that either exspands aor retards the parking brake shoes allways spun before rebuild i pulled the tranny out and carried it in to shop why why would some one peropsely &#@% up my transmission these 904 are sapose to be easy to rebuild these guys have been around since i can remember before i go pist off shooting up the place i need a few answers should the transmisson rotate when in nutraul and wheels off ground not running im starting to boil my spelling sucks

wondering on that sound im hereing from 904 iv been looking at some utub videos about installing the converter i think i only went in 1 clunk not the 2 clunks required if i only have gone in 1 clunk and then pull converter out to attach to flex plate then that means i did not fully seat the converter rightand if converter was not fully seated then that may be the noise im hearing crap crap im going to redo converter and see if i can get it to clunk twice go in a little further before pulling out to attach the flex plate does that make any sense to anyone

If the converter only went in one clunk, you would not have been able to pull it up to the flexplate. It would have been pushing on the flexplate.

okay im really scratchin my head about this problem i wanna first see if i can figure it out whats causeing the noise before i yank it out and bring back to the shop okay cars running and in nutreal wheels off ground i push the drive button take foot off brake tires spinning alls well now i slowly start giving a little gas a little more it seems to me once rpm begin to rise while in drive and its about to go into secound thats when im getting the noise awful noise like its pulling and at the same time pushing big bang hard to discribe i dont push it far enough just enough till i here the noise then i let off the gas and everythings fine can it be the front band being over tightened if the band was loose then it would slip right it seems to be only making the noise when its about to shift into 2nd if i press the 1st gear button it reves up fine no noises i know i know believe me i hate bothering any of u guys about this after spend money on engine rebuild and transmission rebuild and yankin everything out and then putting everything back did i say back my backs been killin me also i never thought id be in worse shape than when i started this

IF the back band was over-adjusted (tight) or otherwise applying all the time then you could (possibly) get something like you describe. First gear would seem "normal" but when the front band applied for second then the trans would attempt to go into 2 gears at once & stress-damage the planetary gears alot.

If you didn't seat the torque converter properly on the input shaft, the trans wouldn't sit flush with the eng block- unless you pulled the trans into position by tightening the mounting bolts. That would damage the front oil pump drive- I'd expect that to make noise all the time and/or prevent the trans from engaging at all.

well christeins younger sisiter debbie has done it again to me from reading about tourque converter i was under they impression that they never go bad ha ha so when i had 904 rebuild i passed on a new TC i was advised that it should be replaced or aleast opened up and checked and rebuilt but again i thought it was a gimick to suck a few more easy bucks out of my hide well again iv learned the hard way the tc is whats making the noise why and how not sure i did fill it with keriosen and let it sit i forgot about it for a couple weeks while i was doing other things "the cheap comes out exspensive" wheather debbie like me or not i am going to bring her back to her glory days just like her older sister christein i even cave her a kiss after finding out the tc is why she was in suck pain i told her i was very sorry i wont be back here hopefully for a long time thanks to all for any advise by
