Chain noise/possible TC issue?

[scatteredsun]

So first, my TC is spinning my axle at idle. It's up off the ground with no wheels on so I figure that may be the cause.

Second, my chain is no sitting right and makes some clunking noise as it travels. It bulges out on axle sprocket when spinning. Is it too loose?

Third, is my driven pulley wobbling? I've looked at and had my buddy look at it and we both think it may be. I got the 40 series from GPS with the backplate and the driven came pre-installed on it. I haven't tinkered with it at all.

Could all this just be improper alignment? Any tricks to getting things lined up?

Sorry for the shaky video. A cinematographer I am not.

Well your chain is WAY too loose for starters. Probably where a lot of your noise is coming from.

I've found the Chinese torque converters sometimes have a little bit of runout on the outer lip, but as long as the sheave faces run true, and it's not crazy out of balance it seems fine.

That chain though... Tons of slop in it. And double check the sprocket alignment. Might have been camera angle but it looked like your axle sprocket might be shifted to the passenger side a bit.

I'll double check alignment.

I had a **** of a time wiht the chain. I'll have to get a half-link. I think it's the only way I'll get it to the right size

I finally got that dang chain the right size! Had to get a connector link to get it right.

I can't get the sprockets to align without the chain rubbing against the driven pulley. I think I need to move the spacers and jackshaft sprocket around.

The driven pulley came preinstalled on the backplate. Do I just need to take the end bolts off and slide the whole shebang off the jackshaft or do I need to worry about the driven spring decompressing?

Should be able to slide it off
