    EVERYBODY IS MISSING THE WHOLE POINT OF MONTER TELLING RANDY EVEN HE HAD ONE ON THE TRAILER TONGUE- THE CHANCES ARE OVERWHELMING THAT THE TRANNY HAS TRASH ALL THROUGH IT! THAT SHOULD OF BEEN THEIR ADVICE TO HIM AND NOT KEEP STRINGING HIM ALONG WITH THEIR TYPE OF PUSHING THE ISSUE ALONG DOEN THE PIPE UNTIL THEY WERE CLOSED- AND LEFT THE GUYS HANGING- IT SHOULD OF BEEN REPLACED WITH A WHOLE NEW UNIT AND CONVERTER THE VERY DAY IN QUESTION- BUT THIS IS A WAY TO KEEP KICKING THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD-AND LETTING THEM GET MORE PISSED BY THE SECOND! A CONVERTER SHOULD HAVE NOT BEEN SHIPPED IN THE FIRST PLACE- ANOTHER $1600 DOLLAR CONVERTER BLOWN UP BECAUSE OF DEBRIS- SORRY WAY TO DO BUSINESS- BY LETTING THE CUSTOME WORK HIS ASS OFF IN A BORROWED SHOP AWAY FRON HOME-WITHOUT ADVISING HIS OF THE POTENTIAL POLLUTION OF THE ENTIRE TRANNY! BAD WAY TO DO ANYBODY- ESPECIALLY BROKE DOWN ON THE ROAD AND NEEDING GOOD ADVICE!

    Randy I had a bad taste in my mouth when you didn’t have park! Makes me worry about their quality control. Santa’s workshop and you got it resolved but you shouldn’t have had too. Issues from day 1 is never good. Sucks is the Monte Carlo is sweet, would’ve been amazing to see it make it through power tour. Totally your call, but I wouldn’t even bother putting in that torque converter I would run and find another transmission.

    A SPECIALTY COMPANY LIKE MONSTER TRANS KNOWS WHEN A CONVERTER SHELLS OUT- THE TRANNY HAS TO COME OUT AND BE COMPLETELY TORN DOWN AND INSPECTED AND ALL THE MEDAL CHARDS REMOVED BEFOR ANOTHER COMVERTER IS INSTALLED- A COMMON TRANNY COMPANY UNDER A SAN ANTONIO MESQUITE TREE ON THE WEST SIDE OF SAN ANTONIO KNOWS BETTER THAN TO REPLACE A SHELLED CONVERTER WITH A NEW CONVERTER AND EXPECT IT TO JUST RUN LIKE A CHAMP AND NOT SHELL AGAIN FROM DEBIS IN THE FRONT PUMP AND THE STATOR INSIDE THE CONVERTER! THERE ARE TORRINTON BRGS. INSIDE A TORQUE CONVERTER! I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE THEY WERE GOING TO LET YOU REMOVE THIS TRANNY AND JUST SIMPLY SLIP ANOTHER IN TO DO THE SAME THING IN 15 MINUTES! NOT A VERY GOOD COMPANY - VERY BAD TAKING CARE OF THE CUSTOMER AND NOT TELL YOU NOT TO REPLACE THE CONVERTER WITHOUTTEARING THE 200-R BACK DOWN FOR DEBIS INSPECTION! THAT INSANE TO SAY THE LEAST- WELL KNOWING WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A TORQUE CONVERTER SHELLS OUT! BAD BUSINESS AND NOT CARING HOW MUCH MORE WORK YOUR WERE GOING TO DO AND THEM WELL KNOWING THAT IS WAS A CHANCE OF NEAR 100% OF ANOTHER FAILURE AFTER ALL THE WORK AT THE FELLOW GARAGE! BAD BAD BUSINESS! I WOULD NEVER BUY NE FROM THEM- POOR CUSTOMER CARE- THEY DID NOT CARE IF YOU WORKED ALL NIGHT LOWNG- THEY KNEW IT WAS NOT THE RIGHT THING TO DO TO A CUSTOMER! CB SA TEXAS

    @charlesbass5856 Годину тому

    RANDY WHEN A TORQUE CONVERTER COMES APART- THE PIECES GO INTO THE FRONT PUMP! IT GETS INTO THE COOLER LINES AND INTO THE VALVE BODY- SO IF YOU PUT THIS INTO THE TRANNY - THOSE PIECES ARE FLOATING AROUND IN THE FRONT PUMP AND INTO THE DRUMS AND SPRAG UNIT. IF IT WAS ME ID TAKE THE ENTIRE TRANS APART AND CLEAN OUT EVERYTHING AND SPECIALLY INSPECT THE FRONT PUMP FOR METAL IN THE VEINS! WHY FILL THE NEW 16600 DOLLAR CONVERTER WITH PIECES FROM THE SHATTERED ONE? THE TRANNY NEEDS TO BE DISASSEMBLED AND THROUGHLY CLEANED DOWN TO THE LAST NUT! ANYTIME YOU HAVE NOISE IN A CONVERTER THERE ARE PARTS THAT HAVE EITHER COME APART OR BROKEN AND THOSE TINY CHIPS AND FINS ARE GROUND UP INTO SLIVERS AND WILL STRIPE UP THE FRONT PUMP AND PUMP GEARS! I DIN'T THINK THIS IS A GOOD IDEA TO JUST STUFF ANOTHER CONVERTER INTO THIS GEAR AND RIP IT OFF AND NOT TO EXPECT ANOTHER FAILURE FROM DEBRIS! THAT MY OPINION BUT OPINIONS ARE LIKE AHOLES EVERYONE HAS ONE! GOOD LUCK BUD! CHARLIE BASS SAN ANTONIO!

    At this point there is no way they are going to ship that torque converter to you if the guy with the repair shop refuses the shipment. Have him accept it and reimburse the guy at the repair shop to ship it directly to you. You can have the broken torque converter rebuilt and then you'll have a spare. (Edit: I typed this while I was watching the video. Glad to see at the end this is what you decided to do.)

    Sorry you and Mike had to deal with this. Transmissions are weird things when they malfunction. We used to have an old British Spec Ford Escort and you could drive it for hours without issue. Only when you stopped to park the transmission would always boil over with fluid. That was one phantom issue we could ever figure out. When driving it shifted smooth but stopping was an issue for it.

    I would not buy anything from Monster Transmission! The way they handled this is unforgivable. They should have boxed up another converter and sent it to you immediately overnight. Honestly, a 200 trans is too small of a trans for that motor. At least use a 700r4. Monster gave you the cheapest POS they could! You are much calmer than I would be! LOL! Before you just dump it wait for a while and then make the decision. My 01 Corvette convertible was hit by a semi-truck on the freeway and I was told it was totaled by the insurance company and had let them take it to Copart locally here. A few weeks later they told me they would fix it for 6kl There is no way possible. Well after some negotiations I got 2.5 times what I bought it for a year ago, a clean title, and my car back. But while at Copart more damage was done. I already fixed some of that too. Now I decided to fix it myself. I will keep it and make it the winning show car it was before. So take some time and you may do the same and decide to keep the car. I was totally pissed my super clean show car was ruined. But after time I realized I still love that car and will keep it for now.
