ok i have swapped in a low mile e4od trans in to my truck and when i put it in drive i have to rev up the engine to about 2000 rpms just to get it to start rolling is this normal for a trans swap? or is something sticking in the trans it is slowly getting better the more i drive it any help would be appreciated

 

Does the transmission shift when you get rolling?

 

First thing to check would be fluid level/condition.

 

yes the fluid is fine and it does **** when rolling.... but after driving it a little today (2 miles) i backed it into the barn and the torque converter blew up and maybe the trans i will know more tomorrow.

 

Good grief.

 

Curious, what happens when a torque converter "blows up"? Did it dump ATF at the bell housing?

 

yes it dumped all the atf out and the torque converter is in 3 peices

 

Can you take photos? I've never seen a torque converter blow up. And I've seen many, many failed transmissions. I've seen torque converters fail internally, but I've never seen one come apart.

 

when i pull the trans out i will be sure to get a couple pictures

 

i got the trans out the trans is fine and what happened was the little studs that go through the flywheel it wollard out the holes in the fly wheel and broke the studs and cracked the torque converter

 

You probably have a pressure problem or sticky valve body. Either way I'd drop the pan and valve body to make sure check ***** are in the right places. Your front planet may be toast as well. I had the same issue you were describing but instead of fixing it, I went with a manual

 

I've seen that before.

 

Nuts/studs never tightened?Or never installed? Not understanding how this happened.

 

they were installed but the nuts were not locking nuts to they must have rattled loose

 

That will do it. There is a reason those nuts are torque retaining nuts. It's been proven that regular nuts will back out and cause damage.
