[Chevelle-List] auto transmission question

[Keith Cooper]

The torque convertor has two slot which slide onto two metal tabs, these tabs are broken off. I was replacing the front transmission seal in my 1971 Chevelle automatic and found the two metal tab pieces sitting there. What function do these tabs serve? Do they drive an oil pump or something? Are these indexing tabs? Help? I wanted to start the car today but now have this new problem. Keith [EMAIL PROTECTED]
