In my experience, stop driving it and get it into a reputable gearbox place asap - you might be lucky (I was) and only need a TC replacement - if you drive it much more though you'll almost certainly need a gearbox too. |

Based on my own experience, my view on this was that the piston stroke on the lock-up clutch was so short that only a small amount of wear of the friction plate was necessary for the “cattle grid” noise/vibration to manifest itself.

I would suggest Sussex AutoParts at Hailsham (http://www.sussexautos.co.uk/) as being your best bet for having your torque converter remanufactured. Any competent mechanic should be able to replace it for you as there’s no specialist automatic transmission knowledge required i.e. there’s no need to open up the transmission itself. The book time for the job is around 5 hours.
