Well that's what I would like to do... However, I am precluded from going ahead by a rumor (?) that revving with 4hp22eh may not be good idea - the transmission may break. Does someone know about this issue? How much is this a rumor? Do I have to get wild by suspending the rear of the car to rev up in gear?

screw in a cheep mechanical gauge and go for a ride, not exactly why you'd want to check the op at that high a rpm as the relef valve will pretty much hold it at a constant pressure after the pressure comes up after a couple k rpm

the rumor is a rumor as far as I can tell but have also read that some trannies fail after doing such in park or neutral. either way I dont want to be a ginuea pig to confirm either way.

if it isnt just a rumor, jacking up the rear wheels might not do any good.

I don't know about the the transmission, but my car suffered a broken rocker arm and underwent an upper engine rebuild as a result of being over reved. (Before it belonged to me).

I had same thing happen to my car - but no such thing as "overreved" occured - the valve clearance was too great, so the rocker got hit by the cam at greater momentum (i.e. more torque in a given instant of time)

Now if I drained the transmission fluid would all come down or some still stay in the torque converter?

lots of fluid will remain...in everything but the pan.
