    torque converter, reuse or new

     



    Should I buy a new torque converter or use the one that came with the scrapyard transmission I just acquired?

    I would like to see what is in the oil pan before I made that call, and how clean trans fluid is. If no metal in pan and fluid is clean and not burnt and it will fit your application why not?
