Looking for spare 722.6 transmission parts

Anyone have a 722.6 apart or parts that you don't need ? Looking for some planet assembly's front or rear. Pulling out very soon and know i have a chipped tooth somewhere.
Let me know what you have as I am just trying to line parts up.

I'll be starting a rebuild of mine very soon. I'm putting in a Southern Hotrod War Viking rebuild kit. I've got two extra transmissions to use as parts. Let me know what you need and I'll see if I can accommodate.

Fantastic !
I am thinking the front planet from how it sounds but will know for sure when it's apart. Thanks Joe ! Talk to you soon.

Well this sucks. Pulled trans and stripped it...no issue anywhere. Looks like the day I built it 3 years ago.
But there are some very fine aluminum shavings...very fine, and must be coming from the converter. But that noise I heard I would find hard to believe that it is from that.

That blows tearing it apart and not really finding anything. Although that’s great too!

Yea this is getting real interesting to say the least. I am going over everything with a fine tooth comb and nothing. I really do not want to put a 3k stall UPD converter in it but the converter is the only thing I can not internally inspect and if I have to replace might as well upgrade and take some weight off the crank.

Ordered a new converter from Circle D Converters so we will see what happens next week. Tim, 99lightning, had GREAT things to say about his converter so I will take his word as fact considering he introduced me to Troy's TCU tune and I'm still thrilled with that !!

Trans inspected and found to be perfect like the day I built it 3 years ago. so....it was the converter and I still find it hard to believe because in all my years I never heard a noise like that. Had to be a turbine fin broken off or something who knows.
So the new converter works perfect, softened the shifts slightly do to more stall but drives almost like factory with a lot more low end torque. Not that I need it for my type of racing but runs harder none the less.

So do they have a converter specifically for our trans? Or did they build you one?

They do but you have to buy it directly through UPD as they have the rights to it I guess. It is only one stall speed as well but I guess if you where to work with UPD and Circle D you can make something different.
