A little back story first. I don't know if yall remember a year or so ago the charger transmission quit. I pulled it out and went through it (727) and didn't see a thing. Put back in and nothing, no power and very slow response. I double checked all the adjustments and still lazy. So I thought what haven't I changed it's gotta be the torque converter. But it was a brand new 24-20 from Hughes. I changed it anyway. That changed everything, solid response, proper shifts etc.
Present time.
I get the coronet running and do all the initial startup stuff. Well here we go again, a lazy transmission (727 again)
I check everything again including band adjustments like the charger, all good.
OK I'm gonna change the torque converter because of the previous experience, another brand new Hughes 24-20. Same response, immediate change for the good.
Two Hughes converters are junk? Two different cars, both very mild builds one 383 one a 440. I would have returned the first but I dropped it and damaged it. I buy a no name cheap converter and it works fantastic.
What is going on?
Anybody else have this problem?
