The problem with rebuilding just the torque convt. is the 'might as well' syndrome. It goes, "Well, now that I have the tramsmission and tc out 'I might as well' get the transmission gone through". "Well, since the trans. is out 'I might as well' put a new rear seal in the engine". "Well, now that I have all this room 'I might as well' put new engine mounts in". "Well, the sub frame mounts aren't far away either". It can go on and on.
