well I finally got it home and tore it down. IT appears my trouble is the splines inside the torque converter are wiped out. The ones for the shaft that runs back through to reverser pump to the reverser clutch packs. Splines on the shaft are good, the converter looks just like a car converter. Any body ever found one out of a car or pickup that would swap in? The only other option I see is taking it down to the machine shop and cutting it open, welding a socket in put it back together and hex the shaft. What oil is supposed to be in the tranny anyway? I've been told 30weight motor oil is this right? While I'm asking, since the reverser is out right now, there is a stack of shim on the clutch pack. Any clue how to setup the clutch pack? I'm quite sure there is some wear on them, probably enough that some of the shims could be removed to tighten it up a bit
