I have never heard of changing out a good commercial torque converter, perhaps this refers to automobile units. Could be a money maker though!

If you can get a free Allison Torque Converter each time your tranny is worked on tell us where. They can have all of my Allison work.

Since changing transmission fluid & filter does not involve removing the transmission, I can't imagine why you would go ahead and remove the transmission to change the torque converter????  Jack

OK so what I was trying to say is that for me there has not been a charge so far for replacing a unit that was under warranty whenever other work has been done. One time I have been charged was like a $35 restocking fee. Then again I make balloons for this guy's kids. so go figure.  8)

As for the number of quarts,,, it came to 22, not 20.  I ask they check the book for the amountof quarts required.  Didn't trust my replacment dip-stick. Cold with 22quarts, engine just started, the fluid level was the top of the "Cold" line on the dip stick.
