Have you thought about getting a one-piece?
The converter I sent to you will reduce the load on the input shaft. I am concerned that the direct clutches could be welding together. I couldn't tell you how many times I drove cab cars in with aods in them and the direct clutches literally welded together. Put the car in neutral and crank it. It will move and start liek a manual in 4th gear.

The shaft broke on the tq side again but this time I can't get the other piece of the shaft out of the trans. Doesn't matter because I just finished installing the junkyard supercoupe trans. and the converter I bought from you. Took it for a spin around the block and it's shifting into all 4 gears.... The gears are shifting a little short so tomorrow I'll adjust the tv cable a hair. I did powerbrake it one time just to see how high the rpms would go before it wanted to move and it went to 2300 and then smoked the tires..........
I'm gonna remove the valvebody with the trans-go shift kit out of the other trans. that was broke but I think I'll ride around a while with the new trans. the way it is before I go screwing around with it again, maybe install it down the road sometime.
Glad you got it fixed Keith. I made this suggestion before, but Im just going to repeat it. I would quit using that valvebody. You have had the same problem on the last two transmissions, with that VB. Something burned the one you just removed up. I saw the inside of that pan. Seems like its applying two gears at once to me...or something silly like that. Entirely too much friction material and burnt for no more miles than you put on that tranny...(2,000 miles maybe)
That could be an issue caused by improper tv adjustment. Did it break on a 4-3 downshift?

The only good way to adjust tv pressure is to use a gauge block and set the pressure to 32-35 psi idling warm in neutral.
