So I have a couple questions regarding a lock-up clutch in a stall. Any and all advice greatly appreciated!!!

Question 1:
So I have a Yank converter I bought off of an old buddy of mine and he told me it was good all except for the lock up clutch. I was wondering if it would do any harm if I just installed in with fixing the lock up clutch. I know it wouldn't lock but other than that what would be the downsides to it??

Question 2: How much does it usually cost to get a lock-up clutch fixed or should I just save up for awhile and buy a new converter??

Just get it rebuilt....its cheaper than a new converter, and they will probably put a new clutch in it anyway. If you tried to run it as-is, the burnt up clutch material will go all throughout your transmission.

yeah, dont install it until the clutch gets fixed. Your just looking for trouble if you install it as is. Call up Yank and have them refresh it for ya. should only be 2-300 bucks

Refresh.
Install as is, & you are signing up for trouble.
No doubt.
