Hi all,

I have had a search and can't find the answer to this.

I need a torque converter - for my 3.6 tdv8 and want to find a specialist nearby to me, I live in north wales.

anyone know of any and approx cost?

I am getting the judder and rev hunting in gear and have had it diagnosed.

Are you thinking of purchasing a new converter, or having yours remanufactured? For the latter I would suggest you only use a ZF/Sachs specialist such as JPAT (https://www.jpat.co.uk/torque-converter-remanfacture.html) or Sussex Autos (https://www.sussexautos.com/pages/torque-converters). The lock-up clutch is ‘captive’ and it is a highly specialised job to remove the retaining weld and the reweld it back in exactly the right position.



Both companies will also quote you for a new unit. You need a ‘Y94’ model.

Any competent mechanic can replace a torque converter, you don’t need an automatic transmission specialist. Once the transmission is separated from the engine it (literally, if you aren’t careful) drops out.
