Message: [QUOTE="ht99vpi, post: 1259736, member: 22361"] I recently had some overheating issues with my transmission while towing. It had been rebuilt approx. 80k miles ago and I was told the cooler in the radiator was too clogged to be cleaned. So I was told a parts store cooler installed on the front of the evaporator would work fine. :fustrate: So much for believing him. Now I have a burned up TC. I had planned to simply replace the TC and hope all was good but decided to tear it apart and inspect the inner-workings. Good thing because the center support ball bearing was trashed. Any one have any thought on what might have caused this?[IMG][url=https://flic.kr/p/x4yxKj][img]https://farm1.staticflickr.com/404/20387359676_f5a62bc2dc_n.jpg[/img][/url][url=https://flic.kr/p/x4yxKj]4r100[/url] by [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/ptownhokie/]ptownhokie[/url], on Flickr[/IMG] After removing everything I noted some heat marks or spots on I believe the interm clutch.[IMG][url=https://flic.kr/p/x7q4up][img]https://farm1.staticflickr.com/328/20419653211_283f567ceb_n.jpg[/img][/url][url=https://flic.kr/p/x7q4up]4r100[/url] by [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/ptownhokie/]ptownhokie[/url], on Flickr[/IMG] Anyone have any thoughts as to a possible cause on this one, the steel is also heat spotted.

Or is this possibly part of the cause of heat.

I am planning on just replacing the pump half all together. Could this have been caused by the bearings when they broke up? or was this possibly from the rebuild?

On a side note I would like to increase the drive clutches so any suggestions on the number or brand, pluses or minuses would be great. [/QUOTE]
