Torque converter

Hi I think my torque converter has gone. Judder, noise, bouncing rev needle.
If the TC has gone, what else will need to be replaced? Has it screwed anything else up?

Also if anyone had this done, what was the cost?

Bit of a panic as I can see a bill for 4k or something.

Many thanks.

Hi,

I've been told it'd be about £1200-1400 to replace the TC, that's for a new one with fitting, that was from Tim McKnight on the FB owners group. I can't help with the likelihood of other parts needed.

I had the same symptoms and it was indeed the TC that was the culprit.

You should speak to Bristol Transmissions, they are just off the M4 and M32. They're specialists and do huge number of Land Rovers, they sorted a new TC and thorough inspection of the gearbox for just under £1500 with a 12 month 15,000 mile warranty.

Drives like new.
