[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 983769, member: 52972"] Lou, It sounds like your tranny guy is on the ball, however I disagree about the beefier torque converter unless you are hauling/towing a lot of weight. Yes, racing trucks can use a racing ptorque converter, but not so much on a street driven vehicle....Plus they are very pricey. Replacing the Torque converter is also an unnecessary expense and a beefier unit can run and additional $2000+, so if it there is nothing wrong with it in 70K miles, why replace it? Also, most transmission shops that do rebuilds or sell rebuilt transmissions will only replace the parts that are worn or show signs of wear or damage. Replacing everything in the transmission is very rare and very expensive. So if he wants to rebuild the transmission and replace everything, you better get a price quote first because I think you will find that cost prohibitive. If the price is less than $2500-$2600 for parts and labor, (not including removing and replacing the tranny, and no warranty) he is not replacing everything in the tranny Even a factory rebuild transmission with a warranty will cost about $2500 and they do not replace every part in the unit...just what need replacing. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
