How much would you expect to pay a garage to replace and refit a torque converter. Seen one garage down south which was charging less than half the price I have been quoted. Getting the feeling someone is tryin to con me. Maybe not will go with your opinion.

[Marks DTM Calib]

Eh, a failed torque convertor, your having a laugh.

If it is gone then the internals of the box are going to aheva  lot of sharp pointy bits in them.

I would say a 2-3 hour job with a gearbox stand and ramps.

[MutantCav]

Maybe 4 hours labour...cant imagine you needing to replace much other than the seal and maybe the thrust bearings thingies... and some fluid...

[Raymienets]

Not having a laugh been told it needs replacing. I only want to have an idea how much its gonna cost

Would small fragments not have ended up in the sump?

According to VX labour times section of TIS
Torque convertor - Remove and reinstall 2.2 hours
@ whatever your garage charges per hour.

Would You say torque converter £150 Labour £200 and £50 fluid is a reasonable price.

I have read some of your other threads on this gearbox issue and we and i have suggested that the problem you have is selector switch or electrical connection related but your still going down the route of changing the box because a "gearbox specialist has told you the box then the tc is fubered.
It is unlikley to be the tc but go ahead and spend your money if you wish, but please if you ask advice on here please take that advice first, if that then does not cure it SPEND YOUR MONEY. :-?

You were complaining that the gear box selector  flights were all lighting up at the same time, well that is selector switch not tc.
As previously diagnosed.

I think the point that Mark is making is, that there's nothing to break in a torque converter, it's a do-nut shaped bucket with fluid in it. Just because a garage has told you it's fubar'd doesn't mean that it is.

I'll echo the above, if the torque converter has failed, its taken the box too. But i'd be interested to hear in the diagnosis which told them its failed, and its not something much more probable, like a selector switch issue!

Only asking a simple question have not started another thread looking to solve the problem. Only looking for a price should I need to get it replaced. What is you problem?

How about you read what is being said here?

MarksDTM, Andy, ffcgary & myself have all told you the same thing.

Its unlikey to be torque converter issue, that will take out the entire box. Its more likely its an electrical issue related to the selector switch.

You also have not said the diagnosis done, to arrive at a torque converter being faulty.

You won't get a price on here Ray, as by the sound of it, NOBODY HAS NEEDED TO have one changed on the omega ....perhaps.

As my previous ignored pm, and this thread,  http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1303017028.  It has been suggested perhaps multiple threads, 6 now I believe, is not helping.

Ray I have seen most of your posts on this unfortunate issue, yet I have no idea where your up to with it...? It's a bit random tbh...  :-/


Following the advice given will most likely be the best course of action, while the box may or may not be buggered, there are a few things to check first before spending an arm and a leg at a "specialist"....

[RobG]

Ray, you received the selector switch from me this morning. Would it not be prudent to get this fitted then if that fails to eradicate your problem, then & only then, explore other avenues of investigation.
