| Post subject: | Early torque converter won't fit early crankshaft . |
I was getting ready to put another slant in my ute . Checked to see if the early converter would fit the early crankshaft (small pocket) It will not fit , the diameter of the pilot on the rear of the converter is slightly larger . It is 1mm / 3/64 of a inch larger in diameter than the crankshaft pocket . I know it is a early converter as i had it on another engine with the larger pocket crankshaft . I got a bushing from Pat Blais to use on that crankshaft . Is there a difference between manual and automatic early crankshafts ? Is there a way to ream(special tool) the pocket on the early crankshaft out slightly without taking it out of the engine ? Has anybody else experienced this ? Cheers , Greg |

I have another 2 early crankshafts here on the bench . The torque converter slides easily into both . This has me bugged . |

I wonder if it was a crankshaft that had a stick transmission and they did not drill the torque converter pocket to size? Lou |
