does anyone know how much a torque converter cost's for a 98 ram 5.2 liter auto? im pretty sure mine just took a dump....cuz im hearing a grinding noise when i shift it into gear from park or neutral, esspeacially in reverse i hear a grinding noise and i feel the truck flutter, then it wants to stall out, and also how much do you think i should look at paying for labor? thank's!!

 

yo can get one at oreillys for about 170 or at the dealer for 300

 

Does it stall out in neutral or does the idle fluctuate?

 

Sounds like you need more that a torque converter to me....If you are hearing grinding sounds.

 

A bad converter is bad in neutral as well as the driven ranges. You've got bigger fish to fry.

thanks for the info! yes it makes a grinding noise when shifting to drive from nuetral, and sometimes when i come to a stop i can hear it at idle in gear, oh and reverse is awful!i guess im gonna have to take out a loan for the transmission pirates....
