D5 torque converter

When it rains it pours...
Now I think my torque converter is beginning to go south ~!@# Started making rattling sounds.
Anybody have a stock D5 lockup laying around I can borrow/ buy for cheap till I can get mine fixed or replaced?

Thanks
Paul

Paul, I sold a used gn tranny to Mike at transware, I'm sure he would let you use the converter for a spell....

D5

Paul I have a good D5 that I removed from you Grand National when I put my 3600 stall in you can use it if you want, also I brought the part that you wanted to Shannonville race track today in the chance that you would show up. You missed some good drags lot's of guys from the forum in attendance. Let me know if you need it and if you are interested in the other part. Ted Drive Safe

Thanks guys! I am overwelmed by the generosity of this community. You guys really represent " Going fast with class"

I took Ravi up on his offer, and really appreciate all the others.

Hoping I can return the favour's in kind.


Ted, thanks as well
I'm sorry I missed the track day
But because I couldn't get above 20psi of boost, I thought it wouldn't be much fun at the track. Then the rattling noise got worse, and I didn't want risk driving the car, or worse yet race it.

I'm still interested. I'll PM you.

Paul
