A missing or severely damaged torrington bearing would allow the front rotating assembly (C1/C2 housing) to slide "back" into the C3 back plate. I have fixed several like this. Almost always caused by someone trying to install an extension housing while the trans is still in the truck and having a torrington bearing fall out of place. Have you pulled the rear half apart yet?

Are you talking about the thrush bearing ,thats what I refer to it that goes in just before you drop the c1/c2 rotating assembly in? If so if you put it in backwards also catastrophic failure will occur also. Don't ask how I know that.
For the record It wasn't I who put it in backwards. ;
Judging by his location....Performance Innovations? Me and my brother just pulled one apart from them that had 100mi on it and the C4s were burnt because the apply piston bleed hole was installed at ~4 o'clock.
is it absolutely necessary that the bleed holes are at 12 o'clock? if so why is that? just curious.
Who was it?
The only time the clutch is lubricated is when the piston is applied. We want the lube hole at 12 oclock so that it squirts down on the clutches as much as possible. If the hole it too low the fluid just dumps to sump without helping lube the clutches.
Keep looking. The hole being at 4 oclock didn't burn them up. The pistons are known for rotatating and sometimes wind up at that location without problems. That doesn't mean it should be there.
Did you pull it apart and check your torringtons yet?
I havent. I only got the bell housing off to look inside quick, and found the problem. I should have an update this weekend when i get back home and go thru it.
