its been a while just packed with work and rebuild stuff around the farm I will update other threads as I get there. Well the Adapter plate cracked allowing the torque converter to wobble around and leak out fluid may have slipped it a few times not sure about Previous owner but worked semi-OK before the leaks got bad. Pretty much rebuilt the whole backhoe thinking about trying to refresh the shuttle before putting it back together.
Cracked flex plates and completely broken flex plates are common problem in T/L/Bs. I had to replace the one in mine. It was on the verge of complete failure due to several cracks in it.
Yea mine was very crack the torque converter was ready Waddling around in there it was completely detached from it only reason it still drove back-and-forth is the plate bent and some of the mounting bolt holes were catching on the edge of it . I’ve put so much new stuff in it thing. I might as well part a new pump and clutch plates in it haha to. It will be like a loose new backhoe
