It's usually on the drivers side of the transmission bellhousing
between the converter and the engine flange. Like a screw with a
finger on the inside that keeps the torque converter from falling
out if the transmission is tipped forward. I think it's a quarter

I was thinking it could be like a $3500 car, probably reasonable at that

Maybe Max should trade his white on for that one.

I have not done anything with it yet. I think I am getting ready to
either put in a good used original rod or order 1 of the updated rods
and put it back together.

Get the Akebonos - very very little brake dust (but they do dust some,

Yes, it can rattle some. The transmission input shaft holds the

Maybe, but nothing you can tell with _that_ test!
AT's are built with planetary gears, you have to apply the
brakes to _something_ inside
Perhaps he's saying that the original rims are available with the car,

I drained the fluid myself. The torque converter has a lot of play in it,
rattling when I shake it. I assume it should not be like this? I have no

If it rattles when you shake it, it will also rattle (horribly) when
