Need help picking torques converter
Okay so i think the torque converter on my 91 formula is going out because it starts vibrating really bad if I hit the gas once the converter locks up. I am looking for a mild converter for under $300. Would this one work?

Torque converter bolts backing out, rattling and sounding god-awful is pretty common on 3rd gens

Re: Need help picking torques converter
Well it seems when the tcc is locked up if i give it gas the trans starts to slip the whole car vibrates and rpms go up but speed doesnt. Does this sound like a bum torque converter?
