    I'm looking to replace my Torque Converter and when I pull it up on RockAuto it shows me one for $180, seems pretty cheap, can anyone confirm if this is the right one?

    Seems a bit low. Check out the RevMax torque converters. Otherwise I think Scotty from Advanced Automotion can help you as well. Get a good one with an upgraded seal so you don't have to mess with it again.

    If you are swapping out the torque converter, please upgrade while you are at it. 517 and AA are both good options. I have 60k+ miles on my 517 TC and beat on it every time I drive it.

    Do your homework with some of the discount converters, some companies don't upgrade the thrust bearings, or even address the lockup clutch lining. I've also seen some with leaky welds and poor balancing.
