If my trans really needs a rebuild, I am going to try and tackle it myself. I've got the space and the tools as well as being pretty mechanically inclined. My question is whether or not the torque converter is actually the issue. Could it be a valve body issue with a worn valve letting pressure through to the torque converter causing it to unlock and slip at high rpm? Could I use a 4.6 torque converter in my 4.4 if the torque converter is the root of the problem?
