Agreed, any transmission shop should know the difference and solutions

Im not upset but it's much harder to get any assistance from any of us if you're not painting a clear and accurate picture.

I only do bench builds so never actually see the vehicles that my rebuilds go back into. Additionally, many of my customers who don't pull/reinstall the transmission have a shop that's different than me perform that work. Some also decide to have 'cores' rebuilt to lessen the time the vehicle is off the road, just like you have in this situation.

But what I initially thought you were describing would never happen with me in that I'd never knowingly rebuild a transmission that isn't correct for the vehicle's application and fitment. When someone calls me up asking for info on rebuilding their transmission, the first thing I ask (if they don't volunteer it first) is,

"What year, make and model" followed closely by,

"What, if any mods like engine swaps, upgrades or power train changes have been made" then lastly,

"How is the vehicle used and what specific requirements do they have, if any"

For a while, it seemed like your transmission shop completely mis-commed and built you a trans that would never have worked in your truck.
Anyway, hope you get it resolved without too much (if any) additional money out of your pocket.

Ok a little more info the person said my truck is a half year truck the problem is my bell housing is ls style and my motor is a vortec at least that is what the installer is telling me the torque converter is a 1/8 of an inch shy of mating to the crank. So in other words the oe tranny is a later model and the new one is ls style any known fixes to adapt the ls style to vortec style? Any input wouls be appreciated

Both Gen 1 and Gen 3,4,5 GM V8 pushrod truck engines etc are all "Vortec" so not sure what you're trying to communicate here.

Brass Tax: What engine is in your truck?

Is it a 5.7 Gen 1 SBC or a Gen 3 (4.8/5.3/6.0)?

 

[H8DSOUL]

305

 

[H8DSOUL]

I guess i will just sell it

 

[NickTransmissions]

305

So that's a Gen 1 SBC.

Now, does the transmission that you purchased and had rebuilt - does the front of it look like this?

You must be registered for see images attach

Yes sir. The oe one doesn’t look like that though
