About 100 pounds less than most I have heard of and look on the bright side , you have a new torque converter |

Can I ask what symptoms you had on the car that made you change the torque convertor? |

Vibrates at 55 ish to 65 when it reaches the lockout in top cruising, you can feel the vibrate through seat and rangey, let it get too bad and it takes the whole box which is about 1400 even though on eBay you can get a full recon box fitted for £1150 I don't know them _____________________________________________________

Getting my TC changed next Friday, had the classic symptoms as explained in various threads by RRPHIL. Local indie checked the oil in the box first and no metal particles so hopefully the box is ok - the oil however had been cooked when the box went into overheat due to a blocked rad a while back.

So gearbox power flushed and filled with lovely nice new gearbox oil, they added an additive to help keep the seals nice and flexible and a nice new torque converter installed. So far it seems to have cured all of the symptoms I had before. The box feels like it is changing gear earlier and is smoother. Had a look at mpg and it too seems to be slightly better. So far so good |
