Hi all. I wanted to know if this extra torque converter I have is in good enough condition to sell or not. Thing is, last Fall I had removed my engine for the first time ever. I improperly removed the transmission from the engine; I forgot to unbolt the flexplate from the TQ and the trans stressfully slid off the TQ on to the ground. Then, when I went to put it back on the TQ would not seat all the way inside the transmission and I ended up breaking off a hunk of aluminum bell housing... I know I damaged the pump on the transmission but have no idea about the TQ.

I have some pics of the inside. The TQ makes a slight rattle which I heard was normal, but its the stress I may have put on it that concerns me.









If you can't tell me who can I take it to in order to check it out, a transmission specialist?


Thanks.

 

Rebuilt units can be picked up for ~$100US. Your TC, even if it is perfect, is not going to fetch much more than core. Only way to verify if it is useable would be to bring it to trans specialist who could verify the clearances and runout. But may be cost prohibitive if you just plan on selling it.
