Hi Phil,

I am actually located in Georgia, USA. I was from Armenia originally. I have not noticed any sludge material in side the actualy housing were the clutches are located but maily in the bottom of the pan and on the side as i had rolled the tranny on to its side for a sec.

What do you think about using a clean quart of dex6 to kinda wash the plates as when i try to clean but wiping it just smears and i can see stuff is still there. I was thinking of taking a small plastic container and filling a quart of dex6 and just kinda rinse each clutch plate trying to clean it as best as possible.

I had already sent my bad torque converter to be rebuilt and ive have already recieved it back. the only thing left for me is to order the overhaul kit from cobratransmission.com and some transmission lube compound for the check balls and filter and oil and i can start the process of replacing all the those parts with new ones.

is it realy a pain in the ass to put the pistons in without the eazy-cone thing on cobratransmission.com site?
