    Hi guys after you helped me with the overhaul of my 235 chev two years ago (it still runs fine), I turn to you with a new problem.
    My th700r4 has been making whining noises in all gears for some time. After some internet research, I suspected the torque converter. (only one year old after overhaul) But after dis***embly I realized that the oil pump input bearing was rotating in the pump housing and demolished the torque converter shaft.
    How can I get the bearing firmly back into place?
    Please give me some repair suggestions. In Germany such oil pump housings are hard to find and expensive.
    Thanks in advance

    The 93-94 4l60e pump body ( holds the front bushing / rotor ) last 3 casting #s 132. Will retro to your 90 pump cover.

    If the only issue, is with the front pump body bore. A local transmission shop, that rebuilds/reconditions 700r4 pumps. May possibly, be able to repair it. Or a competent local machinist.
