Too Bad
You're so far away as here in So. Cal. there's lots of places to sell you a rebuilt or at least back-flushed & cleaned out one for less....
*DO* give any used one you get , the sniff test before installing it ~ if it smells burned in the opening , it is and it'll damage your good tranny . Back flushing a good used TC is usually $50.00 or so .

Ah, I didnt realise that your car would not move under its own power at all.... This tends to suggest to me that there is summit wrong in the Trans itself--rather than the Converter--Not that a completely failed converter wouldnt cause the same fault! Personally, Ive never seen a converter that didnt transmit Some drive, but it must be possible... In your case, the line-pressure test is a good start as well as checking for fluid flow etc.....

The part number is 126 250 2302 xxxx. Another possible route is to look into seeing if the later years model 603 3.0L powered 300D or 300SDL torque converters are a match. .

Thanks for all of the replys. I found a rebuilt at TorqueConverter1dotcom for $135 with $20 s/h and no core charge so I ordered it.

The trans shop said I needed a rebuilt converter so I put one in and it did not fix my problem. I took the trans to the same shop and they kept it for 2 weeks and said they don't know what is wrong with it. They felt hurt when I refused to pay them for looking at it, I had already paid them $80 for the first bad info about the converter. I now have the trans at another shop waiting for a rebuild. When I had the "new" converter in I did a pressure test and it was only 10 lbs instead of 175 to 200 like the book says. If I ever have a trans problem again I will just order a rebuilt trans and converter and be done with it. It takes me about 4 hrs to pull or install using a friends lift and I don't like to do it over and over.

Sorry to hear that, Jim. There is another SD doing the same thing on the forum. I pointed him to your thread. Good luck to you.

If I was in the OP's position, I would be looking for parts to do a manual conversion.
