Depending on what kind of TC you have, I know that Yank will do a full teardown and inspection for like 250. Would be a bitch to get it all back together and have the pump **** again due to shavings in the coolers/trans. I had it happen, have the coolers flushed imo.

thanks for the reply only thing the stall isnt under warranty, yeah i know what you mean would hate to put all back together and have more problems, might just go with the 3500-3800 stall why i have the chance, now just gotta ask momma if its ok to buy it

The problem I see is that if the pump rotor is broke then the converter hub more than likely has some damage as well.

hey vince took some pics of the stall, yeah theres very little damage on the hub .. is there a way i can fix this maybe some simple filing to straighten the edges ... or even weld the cut outs up machine themand recut them or cut them a cross from each other, mind you i am a mechanical planner ( X machinist) with machine shop access)

It is hard for me to see the damage from the pictures that you have posted. It might be a good idea to have your builder take a peek at it and see what he thinks. I prefer to have a new hub installed. Seeing as the builder has to warranty the unit have him take a look and go from there. Vince
