Hey guys,
Has anyone here rebuilt a torque converter and feels like sharing?
I beat up my lockup too much (assuming the clutches are shaved down to nothing). Anyways, can I just toss it on a lathe, grind it at the welds, separate, replace the frictions and steels, and weld it back up together?
I know there's got to be more to it than that, because they usually run >$500 for a rebuild. I just want to understand what's involved.
Thanks!
