Does anyone other than GoWesty sell a torque converter for my 90GL auto?
I was all set to get one from GW but they are sold out and the googlin' comes up with nothin'.

Precision of New Hampton

They supply to everyone including German Transaxle.

They'll ship to your door but you need to have your torque convertor back in the mail within 5 working days or you loose your core charge. Core charge is only $100 unlike $200 for Gowesty.

Google "torque converters Ohio" or your state for the closest rebuilder.

Hmm well it appears I did not look hard enough.
Thanks for all the leads peeps.

Check with the transmission jobber in a city near you. You want a TC with an "H" or "Z" stamped into one of the three mounting bosses.

Long story, but I am looking for a TC as I do not have a core and seems like a lot of places need the core to do the rebuild.
Any suggestions on sourcing a TC other than GTA?

May not be the cheapest way but You could look into getting a core from a scrap yard. And (with any luck) go on from there

I know my U-Pull have some Guys/FreeLancers who will take it out for you ($$). May be worth a phone call are two
