I have an 01 Durango that recently lost all forward and reverse gears. There was no warning and no noise or slippage, just gone at once. I have removed the transmission, transfer, and torque converter and noticed that there is a gear in the throat of the torque that seems to flop around when the converter is tilted from side to side. I was thinking along the lines of a torque converter or pump problem as all gears were gone at once, and after seeing this inside the converter I was wondering is this is where my problem lies.

I appreciate any and all help on this matter as I am not a mechanic, and I do not wish to change the trans if the converter is my problem. Thanks in advance.

Take the trans in and have it rebuilt while you have it out. Install a new oversized torque convertor. No rebuilds!
