I know, I would hope not as well, but after searching through hundreds of pictures of converters the one I posted and a few diesel converters are the only ones I found that are blue.

EDIT: apparently a company called RECON makes them as well, but all they do are generic rebuilds. Like a factory replacement.

That's what I also saw through my incredibly specific image search for "blue torque converter".

Steve - it sucks but I'd tear down everything and start from scratch. Go over everything. Document everything.

You have no idea what has or hasn't been done. Stupid stuff like the oil pickup tube bolt or seal might be missing.

I know, my issue is I cant do it. I dont have them equipment or the time as I travel for work. I am out of cash for the car so paying someone to tear it down is going to be hard for me along with all new stuff that I will need to buy. But you are right. Its better than it all going up in smoke if I dont do it.

You guys found more than I did. I did a search last night but did not spend much time on it. Thank you for the help.

either way, it looks like a lot of what were getting is bringing us back to factory replacements or rebuilds not sure what the other guy had going into his car, but that tc is not vig or yank.

also, how do you forget to install a fuel pump?

hate to say it but from the pic you posted and comparing to the B&M that Spencer linked I would bet thats likely a factory replacement, the B&M has a much different flange where the flexplate bolts to.

you don't, the problem is when you start regurgitating bullshit too much and can't keep your story straight you "forget"

oh, i get it. . . . i guess i just cant wrap my head around saying half this stuff to a bunch of car people.

reading the stories here, and the various other ones about cars on this forum over the years leads me to only one conclusion. despite the random *******s that like to show up and take advantage of people, this site is full of a bunch of great people willing to help out and be supportive. really, mifbody, as a whole, you guys are pretty awesome
