New torque converter, is this normal? Hi all,
I just purchased a TC from a member (great transaction, A+) and it arrived today. It's a vig 3600 new in the box from vig (he bought it and sold it right to me) (as far as i can tell).
When I opened it up and took it from the box, i shook it side to side and it rattles, as if theres a metal disc (not sure of the nmes of the TC internals) rattling about (only if i give it a kethup bottle sort of shake, if that makes sense). It's more of a metallic clunk than a rattle, as if something is not connected or some such.
Is that normal? The stock replacement TC I bought for my dodge ram 1500 didn't sound like that, but it also wasn't a "performance" one like this.
Just wondering if that sounds normal. Thank you.
