In a brilliant stroke of genius, rikofwa@domain.elided (RIK D DESJARDIN) blurted
out:

Can I ask a silly question to everyone?

What's to wear out in a torque convertor?  I mean, isn't is just two set of
fins (one inside the other) and a maybe needle bearing, right?  So why
would you want to replace one... unless maybe you dropped it and crack it?

I could see if the thing was howling or something.

And lastly, I thought I read here on the Digest in the past couple of years
that IH flex plates and torque convertors used with the TF727 are no longer
available new.
