Default 03 STR needs a torque converter

The fluctuation of RPM's that dissapear after warm-up (while driving) are likely the result of a worn torque converter. Put in a parts request to Nalleys Jaguar. Appreciate guidance as to where to procure a new torque converter. Best wishes to all for a happy Thanksgiving.

I am in the same boat, mine started to as well. Wonder if Level 10 can rebuild it instead.

Hi Mike. Nalley Jag got back to me. They want $1750 for a new torque converter. I mentioned I'm a member of The forum....$1750? They can eat my shorts! For free. I found a rebuilt for $475.

when i had mine done, there was a replacement part number for it, and it had to come from europe. Thats why it took them 3 weeks to do mine.

Hey guys, I'm reading this thread but not quite sure what's going on. Can someone break down and explain to me exactly what " fluctuation of RPM's that dissapear after warm-up" means? Is it a loss in power or RPM's that go down or some combination of the two??

Hi Doc. The 200 RPM fluctuation/surge occurs when engine/trans. is not at full temps. There is no detectable loss of power, just surging.
