If I am right, I just broke the Precision Industries Torque converter again for the third time!!!
The first time was on a dyno which Precision stated that it was there fault becuse of some clearences in the converter. They fixed it and sent it back. Cool,.. no problems but still had to have the trans gone threw for cleaning. I had to pay out of pocket. Then the second time I broke it and they stated that I can't use a trans-brake with there converters unless I use there sprag-less type converter. Are you kidding me!!! So I was like....fine... I paid for the second fix and had it set-up for the new engine combo anyway. Now with the new combo and LEAVING AT IDLE, it seems I broke it AGAIN! The reason why I think it broke again is because it acts the exact same way as it did before WHEN THE SPRAG WENT OUT THE VERY LAST TIME! Nothing wrong with the engine. The trans fuild never got hot or even smells burnt! But drives like shyte ever since that baby launch. First pass and it went to shyte. Now could it be something with the trans and not the converter...yes but I honestly don't think so because the fluid isn't burnt. Fluid even looks clean. Won't know for sure untill I remove the trans and check it out again
precision should not have sold you a cheap stock sprag for your application i personally always want to use sprag eliminators in any full race application

did you check the stator splines on the transmission for damage destroying all those stators could have damaged the shaft

are you using a single input shaft or dual input shafts? and if you are using dual input shafts are you using "lockup" torque converter?
