I'm told that "someone" in Auckland rebuilds T/Cs. I've one here that has swallowed a pile of swarf from a destroyed trans.
Anyone know who this mystery "someone" might be?
Also is it a viable thing to do or should I just scrap the T/C along with the stuffed trans?

Oh no they can't and they don't. Needs lots of special gear to cut the converter in half and then weld it back together and keep it all straight and balanced. Also where do they get the replacement parts? From what I've read in some cases the only replacements available are 2nd hand from another old used converter. The "any shop" guys are obviously sending them out somewhere. The real question is where is the best somewhere?

lol. You have no idea then. A lathe, a oven, a mig and compressed air is all you need. No balancing required. . They buy their parts from their own supplier that they use of which there are heaps, both in NZ and overseas. Yes some hard parts you can't buy so you will have to use s/h parts but that is not very common. As I said most transmission shops do their own as it's not cost effective to outsource it. Don't forget most torque convertors use a lock up so at the very least that has to be replaced if they are supplying a recondition unit.
