Torque converter core?

Anyone have a TC laying around I can use as a core?

I have one, it has only 12k mile on it. It is an VW OE. I paid good money for it (900$). If you are interest make me an offer. I would also recommend not using a rebuild TC they do not last unless the rebuild by SACH (the OE manufacturer). My transmission failed so i had a local guy rebuild it. He used a local rebuild TC it lasted about 10K it started slipping and threw PO741 codes. I purchased a new OE TC unfortunately after 12k miles my newly rebuild transmission failed. I installed a 5 speed manual transmission and hope i a good for a very long time.

I had mine rebuilt a couple of years ago, 40k km or so by Precision of New Hampshire. Still fine.

Does the trans "typically" fail after the TC has been replaced?

At some point yes. Have not heard of many local rebuilds lasting a significant amount of time. The originals usually are good for 150kto 200k

4 years ago I purchased a TC core from vwztips and he sent directly to Eriksson Industries for me for a rebuild.

TC still works great and vwztips is a good person to buy from.

With a slipping TC, the trans overheats and it's not good for it. I think if the slipping TC is not replaced quickly enough, it can fail early. So if you catch it immediately, your chances for long life is very good.

I got a rebuilt from Florida Torque converter. May not be the exact name. Was on ebay. Sent converter, I sent core back. Still working good a year later and a very good price.
