How can you get them checked?

Everyone I've ever talked to said that they have to cut the converter open to look at it.

Not sure of the actual process, but I know they can be checked.

Cutting it open or test it on a torque converter dyno ... those are the only methods of testing torque converters.

X2. That is why I said what I said. Not gonna spend the time or money to have it checked on a torque converter dyno or cut it open to inspect it and then reweld it for installation. It was a cheap converter on a stock transmission that was having 4-3 shift problems... It only needed to last for Invasion, and that's exactly what it did! Hopefully I'll have some money for knock sensors this weekend!

If by "driver" you mean "knock sensors and dynotune" then yes.

Lee, I found out what was wrong with my tranny




That friction plate should have teeth on it like the new one, below it.
