I am not sure what all your builder did when he fixed the relief valve in the pump, but if you had the motor running with no fluid it wouldn't take long at all to toast those clutches and Band. Did he go in deeper in the trans when he pulled the pump? I would almost think there had to be a little damage to them from running it dry.. Just an idea.

no drive !!!
Thank you gentlemen for all your input;on the 3rd stripdown we finally found it. On this aftermarket case the bellhousing is seperate from the case,it is also .320" longer from bell face to pump location face which left the torque convertor either not registering in the crank or not picking up on the pump [just].The manufactures admitted a dimension problem,I took .220 off the bell,made new convertor spacers and all is good.180 psi on the band tapping and a wicked shift responce....Once again thank you
