Default I pulled out my Yank converter and found...

I am rebuilding my tranny (3rd gear gone) and pulled out my Yank converter and the fluid in the converter is really cloudy (metal shavings?). Can I just put it back in my rebuilt tranny and not worry about it or should I send it to Mike and have it look at/freshened up? I have 20k miles on the verter and its a Yank PT 4500. Thanks. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Sorry to say anytime you have a tranny failure you should send your converter back to be rebuilt.

Yeah.. send it back to Mike. They'll open it up clean & inspect it. Don't want those metal shavings tearing up another tranny <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Are you rebuilding the tranny yourself? If so, what type is it and how hard it is to do it?

It will probably be better to have someone do it. Do a search on this forum. You can get a lot of info on the different alternatives you have. Good luck.
