Re: [AMC-list] Need Borg Warner T-35 Automatic Transmission

[Frank Swygert <farna@xxxxxxx>]

You know, the strange sounds while the trans is in park lead me to believe it may be the torque converter and not the trans. When/if you do get it rebuilt make SURE you get the torque converter rebuilt also. A converter shop will cut the old one open, clean it, replace bearings, then weld back up. There's a special machine they use for the cutting and welding.

If you run a used converter there is the risk of trash from inside the converter getting into the new trans and ruining it. Not so much risk if you know for sure where the converter came from -- from a known good trans with no hard failure, just normal wear. When things break metal shavings/fragments usually get in the converter and go back through the newly rebuilt trans. Flushing helps, but I would only have a shop flush a converter that came from a trans I KNOW had no major issues.
