    I have a aod with tci pro street kit and tci 3200 stall. It's been fine for like two weeks I started hearing a noise like a lifter lose. I take it my boys shop he said the same thing lifter. He goes to move it on to the lift an car wont start. After check a few things it's the tranny seized. What could that be?

    Did you set up the "TV" pressure before you drove it much?

    Bolt from converter backed off and got stuck, the ticking was it hitting something (flexplate) when it was working loose, when you shut it down it stopped in just the right spot (prolly starter hole) and locked it.

    never heard of an automatic trans seizing...I would go with the converter bolt.

    ive heard of a trany siezing when it was ran with no fluid during a cam break in. but thats not what happened here. the bolt backing out thing sounds plausible but fords use nuts not bolts on the converter.

    I was in a car once, that came to a screeching halt, the tranny seized up tight, 2 weeks after it was rebuilt, but that was a Chev.

    It wort let the starter turn to start it. By boy is going to pull it today. I'm going to take it back to the guy that did it. Because the guy that did it doesn't have a free lift right now an I need my mav running ASAP

    I just pick up the tranny to take back to the guy who built it. The stall would not come off the shaft at all. So I'm guessing the stall seized to the shaft. Any ideas guys.

    not enough atf in the trans. or maybe a plugged up passage in the trans preventing the atf from lubricating something. this would cause it to seize up
