TRANS SPECIALTIES | Remanufactured transmissions | rebuilt transmissions | transmission parts | torque converters

I didn't think they used lock-up converters until much later.

That's kind of what I figured. I spoke with them and will likely buy a rebuild kit from them. They say I may not need the steel discs unless they're burnt. I got the car with no trans fluid in it, so who knows if they're burnt up or not. The new fluid doesn't smell burnt at all, and its still red after driving it.
