Still crazy after all these years!
Some of you are familiar with my Bantam Coupe build. 406 sbc with a 400 turbo trans. Maiden trip with it last fall it had a "shudder" in the trans area. If it is driven with a very light gas pedal it will get up to speed. It can be driven with very light gas pedal even at speed. Step on it and it shudders. Shift to neutral at speed and no vibration.
It feels like a converter problem but no one I know has experienced a problem like this. It is a small Hughes race converter (9")? I bought at a swap meet for under a hunnert bucks. Was probably over a thousand new. So I probably bought a "rebuildable " converter though not represented that way.
I have a 10" converter that is probably good since I got it from my brother. Am planning to put that in but it is a pretty big job for an old guy. Only to find out it is something else, like the trans. The 400th is a used, but supposedly rebuilt unit with a shift kit.
I'd hate to put the converter in and find out it is the trans.
Any of you guys have any experience like this?
