I was checking my engine by powerbraking the tranny when it felt like the tranny let loose. Nothing popped or made a noise. Now I give a lot of gas just to start to roll. Does this mean that it is toast?

The problem might just be in the torque converter.

Me TC??? I was thinking that because again, supposedly, those torque converters are notorious for thier cases "expanding"... anyone know if there's any truth to that???

Thanks everyone for the replies. I talked to Rossler Transmission and they told me that it also might be the torque converter. I priced one at $65.

A TC for $65??? Man, they usually run about $200 for the 700...

Heard of breaking the splines off the forward input clutch pack/sprag, but if that happens, then no forward. Hardened sprags usually fix this. A good replacement stock torque convertor (1654 stall) for a 700r4 runs about $70 buck from a supplier. Get the same unit from a tranny repair place and their markup will run you about $170 for the same item from the same supplier that you got the $70 price from.
I know the early 200-4R's had un-hardened stator supports, which also mate up to the converter, and it is/was common for the teeth to wear off completely. I'm sure the early 700 had the same problem.

<font color=red>DON'T DRIVE IT ON A BAD CONVERTER!!!<font color=black> That will toast the rest of the trans, and you'll have a fresh converter on a trashed trans...[whoops] Just make sure to get the trans powerflushed (best), or change the fluid & filter a couple times back-to-back (okay), to avoid contaminating the rest of the trans.

Thanks everyone. But I think that I'll just change the tranny all together. I really don't want to change the converter and find out that the tranny is bad, and take it all apart again. I have very limited time. I bought a 92 tranny that came from a step side pickup for $400. The fluid is nice and red. The truck didn't look like it had alot of miles. It just had the front destroyed.
