Im heading to the Etown swap meet tomorrow. I didnt plan on getting anything but a buddy of mine got a flywheel and a bellhousing for FORTY DOLLARS!

So I figured I would go and look for a new torque converter. I have a 700r, so I would need a lockup converter, but my question is:

What are the visual differences between a lockup converter and a non lockup converter? What should I look for in terms of wear and tear, and things of that nature?

Thanks guys!

i convertor is sealed. you can paint a junk yard convertor up and sell it as a new tci racing convertor if you wanted. Buying used convertors from random people is scetchy. Its kinda hit or miss. your best bet is to buy new when your talking convertors.
