Hi Peter Thankyou very much for the link it probably hits the nail on the head, even though the tranmission and torque converter were rebuilt not so long ago I now can appreciate that this maywell be the only explination as to what has gone wrong, thanks again for your time and efforts. Yeah the centre bearing which has the thrust bearings attached to the top half is the problem and the rear side facing the gearbox was completely worn away. F&%k, looks like I have to rebuild the autotrans, torque converter and engine again, just what I needed.
