{FORGED?} Re: SUPPLIERS FOR CONVERTERS

["Jeff Reeves" <jeffr@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I bought a junkyard tranny for my Spirit a few years ago (TF 904 to go
behind a 258) and at some point the 904 had been rebuilt, which apparently
included a new Chrysler-style torque converter with the ring gear on it.
Happily enough, the ring gear on the converter didn't interfere at all with
the ring gear or flexplate already on the engine, so it was just a simple
bolt-together operation. It's been about 3 or 4 years now that this combo
has been together with no issues. 
It's likely you wouldn't have any issues with the TCI converter.

I haven't ordered a converter yet for my 998 in a 74 AMX but received the
fol reply from TCI:
'Our breakaway series converter should work perfectly for you. I assume you
need the Chrysler style converter ( starter ring gear is welded on the
torque converter). The part number for this converter is 141300. It will
give you a stall speed around 2400 rpms, yet remain very driveable. Thank
you for considering TCI.'
If I order from them do I need to tell them to remove the ring gear?
Thanks.
