Iv got a 97 auto and it has been shifting hard when i take off and throwing sensor codes for the transmission I took it to a shop and they said it was my torque convertor coming apart and there was clutch material in the fluid which is stopping up the sensors and causing it to overheat..They said the convertor coming apart is a common problem to happen on these since stock the TC arnt even strong enough and my truck is turned up so it didnt help they want $1400 for a full rebuild and said it would be mild to heavy duty modified is this a common problem and good price?

 

yes i work for a tranny shop 1400 is cheap for that make sure you are getting what they say you are getting ask them about what kind of bands they are going to use what clutches also a good torque converter is going to cost 1200 so make sure you arent getting a piece of i dont want to see you get screwed a tranny like that at my shop would go for 2500 to three depending on how hot you wanted it also find out what kind of shift kit they are going to install i will help you as much as i can i will chime in when you can give me more info good luck buddy

 

Price is cheap enough,but,what kind of work do they do as this is a job you will only want to do once.Call Dave Goerand at his shop and chat with them before you make a hasty decision as just because its cheap does not mean it will handle the job you want it to do..........Andy

I jus talked to them and they use precision torque converters.. i went ahead and went with a heavy duty unit it is model HD-MX and itll be $1800 and he said it could handle 20klb pulls

 

percision are good converters that is what we use at our shop but please be carfull what you r getting into

 

???? it is 1800+tax+ tranny fluid..and it comes with a 3 year warrenty...is this a good unit?

 

thats just a little cheap for a unit like they say they are going to do also ask them for a ask them for the low stall heavy duty rv converter its a better converter i hope its a good unit also make sure you tell them to drill the check ball in the cooler line
