My son bought a PTC 8" Converter for a Power Glide Input Shaft and a Brand new Rebuilt TCI Power glide with Power glide Input shaft. We get it all together and in the car and nothing works. The pump is pumping fine but no forward or reverse gears. I tell my son it's probably a Turbo Converter. We pull everything out and sure enough PTC sent us a turbo Converter instead of the Power glide converter. When my son questions them about it they act as if they knew they sent a Turbo Converter and just wanted him to purchase a Turbo Input shaft, so he does. They tell me to stand the Glide up on end and remove the old input shaft and install the new one. I've rebuilt my own tyrannies before including glides so I know about the ring. I do this and it seemingly goes in all the way. When I turn the output shaft the input shaft turns. So we put the converter back in the transmission 1,2,3 clicks and reinstall the tyranny and now the converter has no play free play. It is not locked up. It just doesn't have any free play between the pump and converter.
I found a pic on line of exactly how this input shaft is. I did measure it before we stuck it in and from the end of the stator to the end of the input shaft was just over 1.5 inches. This picture is exactly how it looks although this is not my sons tyranny. In this case the input shaft was all the way in for this guy and it worked fine. What do you guys think? I'm mad at this point I have steam coming out my ears. A brand new rebuilt transmission and am I'm going to have to open it up to look at the, marriage ring?
