Circle D Specialties 545RFE 258mm PROII 2800-3000RPM Converter

 

Go ahead and send it to me for extensive testing.

 

Keep us updated on how it works out.

 

My buddy / mechanic is on his Honey moon so it will be a few weeks before I get her tossed in but ill be sure to post back on how I like it,, if its like everyone else I'm sure ill love it hehe. I don't tow really so I figured 2800rpm is a safe balance between performance and capabilities of still being a useable truck..

 

I have a Hemiedge , its set at 2800, worked out well.

 

Well Got everything apart, and got it all back together,,
Bad news, getting a very loud clanking sound now when running.
Before people chime in ill run down what was checked/looked at..
First Checked flex plate , twice, it is not cracked.
Second, checked bolts on Torque converter they are snug and marked with
paint on the top to see if they are rubbing anything , they are not.
Checked with truck on hoist to see if in drive we had power to wheels,
yes there is truck went from 1st to second gear no problem spinning the back tires when off the ground,
Noise present in all gear selections P R N D
Checked and double checked cats bolted to manifold for leak , no leak
One thing noticed when the transmission was bolted to the engine the torque converter would not spin freely between the two and as far as I know its supposed to..
Now anyone got any ideas ?
Its a loud Rattle sound or more of a metal clanking on metal sound if I was to describe it..
Again we checked the flexplate its fine.
