Is it necessary to change the torque conv. when installing a new tranny?

Title sez it all....is it necessary?

I worked at a transmission shop a while back, and we always installed a new converter. We NEVER reused a converter after trany failure.

what's the point of installing a new trans if your gonna use a tired old converter...
get the most out of your new trans and get a new converter.

Thing is, debris from wear or failure in the old tranny ends up
in your converter, then will contaminate the rebuilt trans.

Here's a place that's got good deals on some converters

Also flushing or replacing the cooler is a good idea since debris ends up in there as well.
