Tom; I have run a th350 I built for the last 5 years with no problems.
(now the damn thing will split in half next run) Have run both and
without the converter. I look in the pan every year and find nothing
wrong. I will take it apart this winter just to be sure. I use the
reverse shift pattern, and like it a lot better than the straight
pattern. The gear splits are not great but have to be better than the 2
speed glide. Doug in big ditch #427 MS
